What is the difference between a simile and a metaphor

English
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

How strongly two things are being compared

Explanation:

Both simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to compare two different, unrelated, things that share some kind of quality. However, there is a difference. The simile uses words <em>like </em>and <em>as</em>, while the metaphor omits them, stating that something is something else. This is why we can say that the metaphor is a stronger type of comparison.

The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

The siblings are angered after learning about their real  father, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  honest with others.

The brother condemns their mother but the sister  sympathizes with her, contributing to the theme of  forgiving loved ones.

The siblings are shocked but still watch over their  mother, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  loyal to family.

After being raised by the now-deceased woman, who inculcated them a strict code of morality and religiosity to such extent that Marguerite had become a nun and the son a flawless magistrate, this discovery makes them furious, and they angrily leave her.
