4. What’s the difference between a metaphor and a simile? Give an example of each.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things by stating that one thing is another. For example, "His voice was music to her ears."
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as". For example, "Her smile was as bright as the sun."
The main difference between a metaphor and a simile is that a metaphor directly equates two things, while a simile compares two things using "like" or "as".
