Are either of these metaphors/similes?
Nope...neither simile nor metaphor. They aren't direct comparisons. She looks winsome, young, and fragile like a wood nymph--simile. She looked as winsome, young, and fragile as a wood nymph...simile. She was a wood nymph; winsome, young, and fragile -- metaphor.
Is this a simile, metaphor, or neither? Please help!?
This is not either, it's just figurative language. You can tell because similes are using "like" or "as": "The rumor spread as fast as a forest fire" This is directly comparing one thing to another based on (usually) a single trait they share. Metaphor: "The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas" (The Highwayman, Alphred Noyes) This is also comparing two things to each other but this time NOT using like or as, instead saying that 'it is' whatever its being compared to. Possibly if it said "The hard lump was a marble lodged just to the left of the opening womb" (metaphor) or "The lump was as hard as a marble lodged just to the left of the opening womb" I hope I helped! Good luck!
Is this a simile, metaphor, or neither?
Define simile: ( direct) comapring 2 unlike things using the words either "like" or "as" Define Metaphor: (direct) comparing 2 unlike things not using the words "like" or "as". By the sentence i see that it has the word "as" so its atleast a simile. I don't think its a really either because its to long and both about simliar topics. It states about Indian territory and then it talks about California and Connecticut nations. But territories are similiar to nations regarding land so not so much. And its not really that direct because it rambles abit to much. ex: a DIRECT metaphor: Life is a highway ( that is the only words you need to make that sentence make sense) ex: an INDIRECT metaphor: life is such so long, that is why life is a highway. The extra words are not needed and don't really relate to any information that is needed.
Is this a simile, metaphor, or neither?
“A representative could not be prouder of his election to a seat in the American Congress, than a slave on one of the out-farms would be of his election to do errands at the Great House Farm." (Frederick Douglass) If neither, what would this comparison be called? It has to be some sort of rhetorical device. Thanks in advance.
Is 'getting into hot water' a metaphor, simile, or neither? If neither, then what? thanks!!!! =]?
It is a figure of speech.
Metaphor, simile, or neither in the quote below?
The simplest figure of speech is the SIMILE. A simile emphasizes a similarity of two things by merely saying it: "You are like a dog", or "You are as a dog". The figure rests entirely on one word. A METAPHOR emphasizes a similarity of two things by saying they are the same; "You are a dog". Next comes a big word: HYPOCATASTASIS. This is a Greek word. 'Hypo' means under, as in 'hypodermic', 'cata' means thrown, as in 'catapult', and 'stasis' means standing, as in the sci fi "stasis field" where things are made to stand still. Hypocatastasis is a meaning thrown under, or in plain English, name-calling. Hypocatastasis just calls the fellow "Dog!" See Luke 13:32 "that fox", and Genesis 3:1 "the serpent". A PARABLE is an extended figure of speech; a story based on a simile, metaphor, or hypocatastasis. If the story is possible, it is a MYTH. If the story is impossible, it is a FABLE. A story about talking animals is a fable. If a fable includes an explanation of the meaning, it is an ALLEGORY. Many of Aesop's so-called fables are actually allegories. Don't confuse any of these with LEGEND, which is a supposedly true but unverified historical account (Jonah, for example). These terms are not used with any precise meaning in modern discourse. For instance, most people think 'allegory' means "a story full of religious symbolism beyond human comprehension". But when discussing figures of speech they are very precisely defined. Here is a book that lists figures in the bible, almost the only work in the subject for the last two thousand years: http://openlibrary.org/search?q=e.+w.+bullinger+figures+of+speech
Is this a simile or metaphor?
So,i was sitting on my bed bored and started sing katy perry's firework...the first line goes..."do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting though the wind wanting to start again".Is this a simile, metaphor,or neither??
Is "I'm like sinking the boat" a simile, a metaphor, or neither?
It's neither. “Like” is a parasite word, inserted colloquially into speech. “I'm, like, sinking the boat and, like, this dude signals to me, like, ‘clear the pond, man!’ Like, wtf?”If you mean something like “I'm like a sinking boat”, or “I like the sinking boat”, or “I like sinking boats”, or “I like the sinking of the boat”, or even “I'm likening the sinking boat to something else”, you should amend your question to reflect that. All these phrases (and more) have different meanings.
Is "when it rains it pour" a metaphor or a simile or neither?
It's neither, dear, it's a maxim (a short pithy statement of general truth and/or knowledge).
What is the difference between symbol, simile and metaphor?
Its a metaphorWhat is a metaphor? Do we use any in our daily lives? A metaphor is a figure of speech relating objects which have nothing in common. Lets look into some; he is the black sheep of the family,she has a heart of stone. Here we never take the literal meaning of anything . It generally is a way we express our thoughts about someone or something. Metaphorical thinking is a powerful tool to perceive things in a new way, something which helps in finding abundant applications in the world of advertising and marketing. Thinking metaphorically triggers our brains in many ways. It helps people to “think outside the box” and foster divergent thinking.
