It’s evident that the sentence above is comparing two things; a crab and a person. There are a couple of core literary devices that deal with comparisons: similes and metaphors.

Let’s look at how they are different.

Metaphor: compares two unlike things WITHOUT using like or as.

• Example: Her eyes are the sun.

Simile: compares two unlike things using like or as.

• Example: Her eyes are like the sun.


Read the sentence again and see whether it follows the rules of a metaphor or a simile.

dusya [7]

When he talks about a reciprocal arrangement, he refers to the fact that at a certain moment, one learns about the experience and mistakes of others.

And the cycle repeats itself, when you have made your mistakes you have to return the favor by guiding someone else.

This is called  "a beautiful reciprocal arrangement".
