Question

Write a simile comparing a tree with a domesticated animal. In your simile, use a word that is normally used as a noun (like lipstick) as an adjective (like lipsticked).

Answer 1

An example of a simile is the following:

"The tree was as thin as a hound dog."

As in the sentence above, a simile is a figure of speech which compares two different things, in order to make the description more intense or forceful. Another example could be:

"The man is as tall as a giraffe."
