17th of April: Homework: Metaphor

Definition:
A figure of speech used to compare things without using words like "like" or "as".


Example:
He isn't a pig, it was just a metaphor.

Significance:
Metaphors are used to compare things. Since it is not as direct as a simile, metaphors make readers think more and thus makes a work of literature more interesting to the reader.
