A similie is a comparison using the words 'like' or 'as' to make the comparison. Similes are often used in literature as a way of comparing two things or ideas so that the reader can get a better understanding of what the writer is trying to get across.
An example of a simile might be something like the statement: "her hair yellow hair was like the burning sun" or "his voice was loud as a train whistle." Both of these statements compare one thing to another either using the words 'like' or 'as.' Similes can often enrich writing and paint a more complete picture of whatever the writer is trying to describe. Well used similies will help the reader to better visualize and understand exactly what
the writer is trying to make them see through their writing.
