Compare and contrast metaphors and similes and their purposes

English
1 answer:
insens350 [35]3 years ago
5 0
They both are forms of figurative language used for comparison, but metaphors and similies do differ greatly. Similies are a comparison using the word like or as. Metaphors are a comparison without like or as, and more distinct. So the difference is Similies always contain the word like or as in their comparison, while metaphor doesn't have to.

A Moment to Remember My dad loved baseball. He called himself a student of the game, which meant that he was a voracious reader
Alex787 [66]
In the short story "A Moment to Remember" there are many inspirational characters. Some of the characters are very similar, and can connect in different ways. One of the characters that stand out in the story is Kathy, who enjoys sports, and going to ballgames with her father. A few words that describe her would be compassionate, understanding, even supportive. "Feeling alone and being denied opportunities, I mused, is difficult when you are surrounded by peers." Kathy shows compassion and understanding by relating to the baseball player with her own tough situation, and feeling sympathy for him. Kathy proves herself to be supportive when she says "Silence the catcalls, silence the bigots, silence the hatred," as the African American player goes up to bat.

The root mal means bad or evil. Can you defermine what the word maleficent means by using
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The word maleficent means causing harm especially by supernatural means, and we can determine this because the root 'mal' means evil as stated, and maleficent is a term used for evil occurences (specifically in movies and stuff)

Explanation:

So you can determine that the adjective describes something evil or bad because of the use of the root :) Sorry if this isn't specific enough, but it's quite straight forward to me at least so I don't know how to elaborate if you need a more formal answer
