My Charism

Simile and Metephor

Similes and Metaphors

A simile is where two things are directly compared because they share a common feature. The word AS or LIKE is used to compare the two words. Eg. As cold AS a dog's nose

A metaphor also compares two things, but it does so more directly WITHOUT using as or like. Eg. The shop was a little gold-mine.

Task One

At the end of the sentence, write in brackets whether the sentence is an example of a metaphor or simile.

Eg. The clouds were fluffy like cotton wool. (SIMILE)

1. As slippery as an eel. (SIMILE)
2. Arnie was a man-mountain.(Metaphors)
3. He was a lion in battle.(Metaphors)
4. She is as pretty as a picture.(SIMILE)
5. The striker was a goal machine.(Metaphors)
6. The torch lit up the room as if the sun had risen early.(SIMILE)
7. The moon was a misty shadow.(Metaphors)
8. My friend has a face like a bag of spanners.(SIMILE)

Task Two

Now you are going to make up similes of your own by copying and finishing these sentences.

For example:

As good as gold

1. As heavy as a rock.
2. As cold as a  winter.
3. As hard as a rock.
4. She had skin like a Tiger.
5. As cool as a man.
6. As quick as a fox.
7. He was slow like a snail
8. Slippery like a eel
