What
is simile? Simile is a figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are
compared, the word simile means “like”
or “as”.
Therefore, it is a direct comparison. Why we used simile ?
1.
To create humorous moments or tender
moments.
2.
To enable the reader to imagine in his mind
what the writer is saying.
3.
To bring something different to story and
character, something that differs from straightforward narration.
Where we used simile?
1.
When the association is stated either
implicitly or explicitly.
2.
A way that leaves the reader in no doubt of
what the author is trying to convey or, in some instances, the author may
prefer to use a simile which can be open to interpretation by the reader.
3. Stereotypically
over the years to become part of everyday speech.
Types of simile :
1. The first type of simile simply tries to
invoke some genuine quality of a real object through reference to another
object.
2.
The second type does the same thing, but
invokes non-existent objects that people are nonetheless familiar with.
3.
The third type of simile intends to
reference the object or quality only vaguely or slightly to anything, and is
instead a satire, or a play with language for its own sake.
