Similes and Metaphors

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things that uses like or as. For example, "the girl was beautiful like a flower." A metaphor is similar to a simile, but it does not use like or as. For example, "my father is a bear in the morning." Take a look at the video which shows that similes and metaphors can be found in more than just poetry or written descriptions, but in popular music and movies.
