A
Introduction to Metaphors and Similes
The morning sun was a golden coin tossed into the sky, shining brightly as the city awoke. Her voice was like honey, warm and sweet, drawing everyone in. The wind whispered secrets through the trees, as if sharing ancient stories. His anger was a volcano ready to erupt, threatening to explode at any moment. The room was a jungle of chaos, with clothes and books scattered everywhere. The old house stood like a sentinel, watching over the quiet street. Her smile was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, brightening everyone’s mood. The river was a silver ribbon winding through the village, shimmering in the sunlight.
