Answer:

Explanation:

While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”

<u>How can you tell if it's a Simile?</u>

Simile compares stuff things using "Like" or "As"

Example: Brave as a Lion.

This sentence uses "as" in the sentence. Therefore it's a Simile.

<u>How can you tell if it's a Metaphor?</u>

Metaphor is like Simile but the only different thing they have is Metaphor's DOES NOT uses "Like" or "As"

Example: The Snow is a white Blanket.

This sentence does not use "Like" or "As". Therefore it is a Metaphor.

Descriptive writing<br> persuasive writing<br> autobiographical writing<br> biographical writing
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using all of your five senses.

Persuasive writing intends to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion and to do an action. Many writings such as criticisms, reviews, reaction papers, editorials, proposals, advertisements, and brochures use different ways of persuasion to influence readers.

An autobiography is a non-fiction story of a person's life, written by the subject themselves from their own point of view. Certain autobiographical writing, such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, can endure for well over a century and become part of the literary canon.

Biographical writing is a specific form of writing and research that takes as its subject the lives of individuals. As such it concentrates on constructing personal histories, and places them within their social, political and historical context, in order to discover and explain the influences on an individual's life.

How long is a jiffy in time? Example. They got back in a "jiffy".
mr Goodwill [35]

You need to define the term yourself. There's no set definition for it. For example when we say "This will be a long wait" you don't know the time of "long" the definition of "long" will vary per person just like "jiffy".
