A simile is a figure of speech that involves comparing two unlike things using the words “like” or “as” to create a vivid and imaginative comparison.
It is a form of analogy that helps readers or listeners better understand or visualize the qualities or characteristics of the subject being described.
For example, “Her smile was as bright as the sun” or “His voice was like velvet.”
Similes are commonly used in literature, poetry, and everyday language to make descriptions more colorful and relatable.
