Answer:

The simile and the metaphor are two literary figures 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 simile links two terms with a comparative nexus (such as: as, similar to, it seems, just like, etc.); the metaphor 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 as green as emeralds </h2>

Here we are making a comparison using the comparative nexus as.

And this one is a metaphor:

<h2> I was lost in her emerald gaze </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."

Is the a dynamic two way process that can be broken down into six phases

Monica [59]

Answer:

Communication is a dynamic two way process that can be broken down into six phases.

Explanation:

Communication can be defined as a process of relaying the message from one person or group (sender) to another (receiver). This is accomplished by the use of mutually understood signs, symbols, and semiotic rules. There are many definitions of communication, its components, and phases. Usually, the main components of communication are considered to be the sender, message, channel, receiver, and feedback. According to Bovee, Thill, and Schatzman, communication consists of six phases connecting the sender and receiver:

The sender has an idea;
The sender encodes the idea;
The sender transmits the message;
The receiver gets the message;
The receiver decodes the message;
The receiver sends feedback.
