How are similes and metaphors different

Answer:

The simile and the metaphor are two <u>literary figures</u> that have in common the fact that they are used to make a comparison.

That is, both compare two words, concepts or terms, but the difference is that:

While the <u>simile</u> links two terms with a comparative nexus (such as: <em>as, similar to, it seems, just like</em>, etc.); the <u>metaphor </u>does not, because in this case one term represents and substitutes the other (terms that are different but share some type of similarity).

For example, the following sentence has a simile:

<h2>Her eyes were <u>as</u> green as emeralds </h2>

Here we are making a comparison using the <u>comparative nexus</u> as.

And this one is a <u>metaphor:</u>

<h2> I was lost in her <u>emerald gaze </u></h2>

Here we are making the same  comparison (the green color of the eyes with the green color of the emeralds). Nevertheless, no comparative nexus is used.

Similes are directly comparing two objects, such as, "Life is LIKE and open book."
Metaphors also compare things, but more or less are making a statement. "Life is an open book."

explain the requirements and causes that led to changing the subject of vocative discourse in Quran after the migration to madin
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The differences between the two were said to be that the Meccan surahs dealt with core issues of belief, whereas the Medinan verses included the “legislative verses” of the Qur'an.

The Medinan surahs are those supposed revelations that occurred after the move. Meccan surahs are typically shorter than Medinan surahs, with relatively short verses (āyāt), and mostly come near the end of the Qur'an. (As a general rule, the chapters of the Qur'an are ordered from longest to shortest.)
