Simile

Definition: A simile is a form of figurative language that creates imagery in a poem or any piece of literature; that compares two things directly, using the words 'like' or 'as'.

Example: The cat is as fluffy as a cloud.

Significance: The usage of similes helps the reader compare two things to create a better understanding of something the reader may not know about.



Pillows are as fluffy as clouds.
