-Simile
A simile is a language feature that compares one thing to another using the word "like" or "as".
e.g. The cloud was fluffy like cotton candy.
"Mama always said: Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." -Forrest Gump
"I am as fast as Flash, like a bolt of lightning typing these words." -Eugene Giango
-Metaphors
A metaphor is a language feature that directly compare one thing to completely different thing.It does not use the words "like" or "as" like a simile does.
e.g. "The snow was a white blanket."
The sky is a sea, & the sea is the sky. They are both beautiful.
