Similes :o)



Similes are comparisons that show how two things that are not alike in most ways are similar in one important way. Similes are a way to describe something. Authors use them to make their writing more interesting or entertaining. Similes use the words “as” or “like” to make the connection between the two things that are being compared.


Examples:


As white as snow.


As old as the hills.


As high as a kite.


As clear as mud.


As clear as crystal.


As pretty as a picture.


As slow as a snail.


As hot as hell.


As dull as dishwater.


As busy as a bee.
