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.

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

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".

Chatper 21 summary of hunger games. i don't what to do
exis [7]
FYI, I dont reccomend putting your full name anywhere on the internet, and in the top right hand corner we can all see your name. Also to answer this Question I reccomend going to Shmoop.com and looking up "The Hunger Games Chapter 21 Summary" or just going on Google and searching "Chapter 21 summary of The Hunger Games" and it'll be the first link to pop up. Remember to put it in your own word and source it, DO NOT write it word for word, because that would be Plagiarism; and Plagiarism is illegal.
