Figure of Speech-
Simile and Metaphor
Prepared by: Michelle T. Eyas
After the class discussion, we are expected
to:
• Identify figure of speech;
• Determine the differences between simile
and metaphor;
• Distinguish simile and metaphor in the
sentences.
Figure Of Speech

- Is a word or phrase using figurative

language—language that has other
meaning than its normal definition.
- One meaning of "figure" is "drawing"
or "picture". Figurative language creates
pictures in the mind of the reader or
listener.
Why is it important in English
language?
Reasons to use similes and
metaphors:
• for comparison
• for humor
• for emphasis or stress
• to make something clear or easy to understand
• to say something in a new way
• to help the reader/listener form a picture in
their mind
• to make something interesting and descriptive
Simile
- Is a very common figure of speech that uses
the words “like” and “as” to compare two
things that are not related by definition.

For example: “He is as tall as a mountain”

Because of the word “as”

Meaning: He was really tall.

Example:

The internet is like a window to the world.

Because of the word “like”

Meaning: You can learn about everything

through online. “Window to the world”
meaning that it let you see anything and
everything.
Metaphor
- Is a comparison of two different things,
without "like" or "as." It makes a
description more interesting or
powerful.
- Often uses the word “is, was, are or
were” (linking verbs).
Example:
She is an angel
She is a nice.

My hands are ice

My hands feel very cold.

He is a pig
He is dirty.
What are the difference between simile and
metaphor?
SIMILE
Compare two different things
that do not usually go
together.
Compare using the words
"like" or "as."
with like/as => simile
METAPHOR
Compare things by stating
something or something else.
They do not use the words
"like" or "as."
without like/as => metaphor
often uses the word “is, was,
are or were”.

How about without using "like" or "as"?

Give at least 3, the reason why figure of

speech is very important in English
language?
