•Comparing two UNLIKE things using LIKE or AS
Good Example:
•Her smile was like a refreshing rain that revitalized everyone who came in contact with her.

HOW ARE METAPHORS DIFFERENT THAN SIMILES?

•METAPHORS compare two UNLIKE things saying one this IS the other thing instead of just like it.
GOOD EXAMPLE:
• “If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

EVALUATING EXAMPLES:WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE EXAMPLE
WHY ISN’T IT A SIMILE OR A METAPHOR?
BAD EXAMPLE:
•Mike is like Mathew?

YOU ALSO WANT TO BE UNIQUE AND AVOID CLICHÉS WHICH WE ALREADY
HEARD BEFORE.
Good Example:Grandpa lounged on the raft in the middle of the pool like an old battleship.

Bad Example:He was as slow as molasses.

USING SIMILES AND METAPHORS TO DESCRIBE GATSON
• His pride wraps around him, a blanket shielding him from anyone offering humility.
• His cruelty towards Belle is thunderous; he steals her book, tries to trap her into marriage and almost kills the one she loves.
• He wears a red tunic, which looks like blood; it fits around his muscles that are as large as tree trunks.
• His black hair shines like the darkness and his eyes are as green as jade.
