Similes use the word "like", metaphors do not.

Or "as".

Very easy. All I have to do is shout at it.

A simile compares two things using "like," "than," or "as." A metaphor doesn't.

Simile Example: This is like that.

Metaphor Example: This is that.

To everyone: Thanks for the comments. Most this darn blog has had in a while.

TMD: Ah, you're getting it!

Teeb Sapien and The Alchemyst: Very funny. We could use your humour on the Dark Side. Join me and together we will rule the literature...

To everyone above else: I know the difference between a simile and a metaphor. You seemed to have missed the fact that the statement itself literally was a metaphor, meaning that I said "a simile is a metaphor" as a means of pointing out the similarities between the two. It's not like I really think all the world's a stage.

You've just failed the challenge.

Obviously it's inaccurate; it should read, "A metaphor is like a simile."
