Answer: a good way to tell the difference between the two is a simile will always use the words “like” or “as”

Example: her cheeks were *like* roses

This is saying that she was blushing and her cheeks were red from it

A metaphor with use neither of those and would imply or say that they were exactly that it uses neither like or as

Example: her cheeks were roses

This is still saying that she was blushing and she was red on the cheeks but in stead of comparing to roses they are roses

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The term "jungle girl" refers to the girl's personality as somebody who is active.

This term is a metaphor since it describes the African-American girl (Lucille Clifton) in the poem as a "jungle girl" although she is not from the jungle. This simply refers to her "active nature."

Explanation:

Lucille Clifton was an American poet who grew up in an African-American life. Most of her works, such as the poem "This morning," focuses on her life and family experience. The essence of the poem focuses on how Lucille finally found herself even in the midst of a different society. It also shows her appreciation for her own identity.
