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.

In "My Name," the line "My name is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday
Lelechka [254]

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
