Working with Words—Literary Device: Simile
A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using the words like or as.
Authors use similes to create a picture or to show rather than tell.
For example:
“She felt as light as a feather.”
‘The wind blew like the roar of a lion.”
Find the simile on page 68. _______________________________________________________
