A metaphor, a simile uses the words like or as.
The word simile is a noun. The teacher had the students read a poem called, The Secret Trunk, then asked them to find the simile used by the author.
No, similies involve words like 'as' ex: As big as an elephantNo, a simile is a comparison between two things using the words "like" or "as" such as:The sun is like a lightbulbA metaphor is a comparison between two things without the words "like" or "as" such as:The sun is a lightbulb
A simile.
The sentence uses a simile to compare the person's voice to something familiar (ice-cream) to create a vivid image for the reader. It also employs personification by attributing human-like qualities (kindergarten teacher) to the voice, enhancing the description.
'the snow was like a powder' is a simile. So, to answer your question, yes it is. just remember that, a simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as'. so therefore it is a simile. in addition to that, a metaphor is a comparison without using 'like' or 'as', it says something 'is' something. e.g. The teacher was a King stepping on his minions. i know this is a vary long and explaining answer but thought it was useful for you to know. Okay, hope this helped. :)
"She was as smart as an owl" is one example.Another is "he is as smart as a doorknob".
A metaphor
not really. a simile is when you are comparing something to something else e.g. the orange beach ball is as orange as the sun. you are not comparing something with something else if that makes sense. it depends though- its best to ask an English teacher :)
