  5. Input • simile: a comparison between two basically unlike things (like, as, or resembles). • The closed car sitting in the sun was like an oven inside. • The streets were as sticky as a marshmallow toasting over a campfire. • Her eyes resembled the green flash that occurs when the yellow sun touches the blue sea at sunset.

  6. Input • metaphor: compares two basically dissimilar things without the use of connecting words such as like, as, or resembles. • The closed car sitting in the sun was an oven on wheels. • Her eyes were emeralds sparklingin the sunlight.

  7. Input • idiom: a common expression in which the words don’t really mean what they say. • “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.” • Hold your horses, Janet. Dinner will be ready in no time.” • Now kids, stop horsing around and let’s sit down to dinner.”

  8. Input • analogy: expresses a comparison between two situations or ideas that are alike in one important way but different in others. • Hot is to warm as cold is to cool. • Active is to athlete as adventurous is to explorer. • The words chosed for a poem are like the stones selected to build a wall. If they aren’t chosen carefully, the entire structure will not hold.
