The difference between metaphors<span> and </span>similes<span> is that </span>similes<span> hit you over the head with the comparison by using explicit words such as “like” or “as,” -- When Jon Bon Jovi sings “My heart is like an open highway,” that's a </span>simile<span> because he used the word “like” to directly make the comparison</span>

While a simile and a metaphor both compare two things, a simile compares them by using 'like' or 'as' and a metaphor does not. An example of a simile is "the food was as cold as ice" and an example of a metaphor is "he is such a baby" :D
