<h3>What is simile?</h3>

Simile is a type of figurative language often used as a rhetorical device. The purpose of a simile is to compare two different things so as to give one the qualities of the other. A simile will always rely on the use of words such as "like" or "as".

In the passage "Watching Genna dance is like watching snowflakes swirl in a breeze," two different actions are being compared. Notice that the word "like" is present, which makes the simile quite easy to identify. Perhaps what the speaker means is that Genna dances as beautifully as the snowflakes swirl in a breeze.
