The document discusses the differences between similes and metaphors. A simile directly compares two things using like or as, while a metaphor makes a direct comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Some examples of similes provided are "as black as coal" and "life is like a box of chocolates." Metaphor examples given are "time is a thief" and describing someone's personality as "bubbly," without literally meaning they are producing bubbles. More exercises on similes and metaphors will be provided in future posts.
