English

A simile's defining feature is that it figuratively compares one thing, person, place, element or idea to another while using the words "as", "such as" and "like." The only figure of speech that is similar to similes is metaphors because they also use comparison to make the writing more colorful and memorable, but metaphors do not use the words "like", "as" and "such as" like similes do.

An example of a simile: <em>She's </em><u><em>like</em></u><em> a summer breeze.</em>

An example of a metaphor: <em>She's a summer breeze.</em>

A simile uses the words like and as while a metaphor doesn't. A simile is used to compare to things. For example, the cat was pouring LIKE a lion.

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Doctors (and nurses) take an oath about helping people (not the whole thing, but I don't know it as I am not a doctor or nurse). If the doctor is understanding, they might even help set up a payment plan.

It was late and everyone has left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the elect
Rasek [7]
It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him.
