According to a different source, this question refers to the story "Blue-Sky Home" by Lisa Papademetriou.
In this story, Phoebe is half-Greek, but she was born in America, and she does not consider herself to be Greek. However, her grandfather considers her to be Greek. The main factor in this is the fact that Phoebe is not acquainted with Greek culture. What contributes the most to how someone views himself is the cultural practices that they grew up with. If someone follows particular culinary or religious practices and celebrates traditional holidays, it is more likely that the person will feel identified with that culture. Other factors can include being fluent in the language of the place, or visiting this country regularly.
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.
