Simile or metaphors

Monday 2 may 2016 week 1 term 2

Simile or Metaphor.

Similes compare one thing with another e.g “ He was as cold as ice”
Metaphors on the other hand are hidden comparisons e.g instead of saying someone is as strong as an ox, we say he/she is an ox.

Work out whether these sentences include a simile or metaphor.

1- Mum was as busy as a beaver getting ready for the party- simile.
2- The nurse seemed like an angel- simile.
3- I was snug as a bug in my new sleeping bag- simile
4- He was faster than a speeding bullet- metaphor
5- She was the brightest star in the class- metaphor.
