"My love is like a red, red, rose"... A simile is a literary device that compares one thing to another, or assigns a characteristic of one thing to a different thing - think "simile = similarity" "He was only a car mechanic, but he knew cars like a surgeon knows anatomy." Similes and metaphors are often confused - a metaphor is a bit like a simile, but doesn't use as explicit a comparison - a metaphor simply states that something IS something else... To quote the bard of Avon, "All the world's a stage..." Had this been a simile, Billy S. would have written "The world is like a stage"... See the difference?

A simile is a figure of speech which compares two things or persons that are not similar. For example; as big as an elephant.
