Is metaphor and simile the same?

English
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
5 0

No, a metaphor is not the same as a simile (hence the different names). While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between them is the word one uses when using them. Similes use the words like or as to compare things while metaphors directly state a comparison.

Which sentence carries a neutral connotation?
steposvetlana [31]
Connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation.

A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headedconnotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation).
