Simile => a comparison between two unlike things (nouns), using the word like or as. Thing like the unlike thing: He felt the eyes of his classmates sticking to him like mites. Eyes and mites are two unrelated things, but are being compared to one another as if they are the same thing. The word connecting them is like.
When comparing two unlike things using the word as, you need to use as twice, and you must place an adjective between the words as and the two unlike things being compared: The eyes of his classmates were as sticky as mites.
Welcome to MarMooWorks Story Line, where I encourage you to become a Muse of MarMooWorks. Each week, I will begin a story, using one sentence, and I invite you, the readers, to add to the story. Be on the lookout for fun and unusual words, images, and literary devices. Be sure to keep in mind that once a character has been introduced, he/she/it remains in the story and has a purpose.
