Similes and Metaphors


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. (METAPHOR)
  3. He was a lion in battle. (METAPHOR)
  4. She is as pretty as a picture. (SIMILE)
  5. The striker was a goal machine. (METAPHOR)
  6. The torch lit up the room as if the sun had risen early. (SIMILE)
  7. The moon was a misty shadow. (METAPHOR)
  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.

As good as gold
