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.

Answer:

The authors tone in "About Russel" changes from hopeful, to unpromising. In Passage A the author is seen stating, "...Russel's future was bright and without limitation..." This gives a feeling of optimism, and shows that Russel was headed on a good path. This feeling changes in Passage B, as it says, "Further and further Russel slipped away, unable to make eye contact or hold a conversation." This sentence is very discouraging, as it seems all progress made was simply forgotten. Putting these two sentences together, it shows the change in tone dramatically, further proving the point of this change in tone. In conclusion, the tone of each passage is different, as it goes from expectant to hopeless.
