Example:-

  • The night is as dark as black stone.
Note:- Here, comparison is made between night and black stone. But there is one common thing between them and that is dark.
Note:- comparison of two things of same kind is not simile such as.
  • Ram is as noble as his father.
Here, comparison is made between ram and his father, but both are human.

2-Metaphor

Metaphor is an implied simile in which objects of comparison are identified but words of comparison (as, so, and like) are not used.
  • The camel is the ship of desert.
  • Life is a dream.
