Explanation: Metaphor is a type of figurative language that compares one thing directly with another. For example: The ocean was an old friend. Simile compares two things using the word like or as. For example: The ocean was <u>as</u> welcoming <u>as</u> an old friend.
A metaphor is when you compare something to something else without using "like" or "as", by making the object of the metaphor take on the characteristic of that other thing. Example:
"That person over there is such a pig."
The metaphor in this sentence is comparing the subject "person" to a "pig" without the use of the comparison words "like" or "as".
If I threw myself a surprise party it would be held at a planetarium and I would invite Brian May (guitarist for the band Queen, and astrophysicist) so I could ask him about his life and tell him how much I love his work in all forms (music and science).
true deductive reasoning can be used in arguments because it uses logical reasoning, you cannot use your opinion in the scientific inquiry or discovery.
