Simile Examples
A simile is a comparison between two different
things using the word like or as to make the
comparison. Similes are generally easier to identify
than metaphors, but not always. Sometimes a
speaker or writer may use the word like or as
and not make any comparison. These are not
similes. For example if I said, I like pizza. I am
expressing a preference for pizza not making a
comparison. By the time you finish working through
these 100 examples of simile, you should have
the hang of it. I have attempted to separate these
similes into an easy and hard list. Here is the
list of fifty easy similes:
