Simile: A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using "like" or "as." It helps create imagery by highlighting similarities between unrelated objects.
Metaphor: Metaphor is another figure of speech that directly equates one thing with another. It enhances descriptions by suggesting deeper meanings beyond literal interpretations.
Extended Metaphor: An extended metaphor is when metaphoric language is sustained over several lines or throughout an entire piece of writing. It allows for more in-depth exploration of a comparison.
