    The document discusses the difference between similes and metaphors. It notes that a simile directly compares two things using "as" or "like", such as "as cold as a dog's nose". A metaphor also compares two things but does so directly without using "as" or "like", for example "the shop was a little gold mine". The document then provides examples for the reader to identify as either similes or metaphors and gives a challenge to write a poem about a hobby using at least one of each.

    Simile or metaphor?

    Your challenge today is to


    recognise the difference
    between a simile and a
    metaphor, can you do it?

    A simile is where two things


    are directly compared, and
    as or like is usually used
    to compare.
    For example:
    As cold as a dogs nose.
    He was slow like a snail.

    A metaphor also compares


    two things, but it does it
    more directly without using
    as or like.
    For Example:
    The shop was a little gold mine.

    Lets see how clever you are!


    Do you think you are clever
    enough to be able to tell me
