How are simile and metaphor alike?
give one example of both a simile and metaphor.

Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at . I will be assisting you today with answering this question, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our question.
"How are similes and metaphors alike? Give one example of both."

Now, let's understand the question and define our terms.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things, usually with the words "like" or "as".
For example; "That man was like a cheetah, running that fast!"

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two things, and is not meant to be taken literally.
For example; "Life is a rollercoaster."
Life is not really a rollercoaster, but is a comparison between how life is in similarity with a rollercoaster.

I hope this helps!
