No, a metaphor is not the same as a simile (hence the different names). While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between them is the word one uses when using them. Similes use the words like or as to compare things while metaphors directly state a comparison.
What is ur question concerning this?
The Civil War had a major impact on literature during this time period. The horrors of the war shook people up and created a more pessimistic outlook on life. This was one of the first wars that was photographed so people had images to look at even if they were not involved in the war itself. The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is definitely applicable in ths case.
Realism came into play in large part out of need as a result of the war. People had something to write about but did not at the time have the right "tool" to do it. Realism/realistic novel was that tool. Romanticism, which came before realism, did not lend itself to write about the new perspective of society post Civil War.
