Answer 1

120-140 words! What!? Wow... Sorry guy, I am not going to do your homework for you.

Answer 2

Here is some help from Charles Dickens, describing the Old Bailey (Central Criminal Court of London):

"They hanged at Tyburn, in those days, so the street outside Newgate had not obtained one infamous notoriety that has since attached to it. But, the gaol was a vile place, in which most kinds of debauchery and villainy were practised, and where dire diseases were bred, that came into court with the prisoners, and sometimes rushed straight from the dock at my Lord Chief Justice himself, and pulled him off the bench. It had more than once happened, that the Judge in the black cap pronounced his own doom as certainly as the prisoner's, and even died before him. For the rest, the Old Bailey was famous as a kind of deadly inn-yard, from which pale travellers set out continually, in carts and coaches, on a violent passage into the other world: traversing some two miles and a half of public street and road, and shaming few good citizens, if any. So powerful is use, and so desirable to be good use in the beginning. It was famous, too, for the pillory, a wise old institution, that inflicted a punishment of which no one could foresee the extent; also, for the whipping-post, another dear old institution, very humanising and softening to behold in action; also, for extensive transactions in blood-money, another fragment of ancestral wisdom, systematically leading to the most frightful mercenary crimes that could be committed under Heaven. Altogether, the Old Bailey, at that date, was a choice illustration of the precept, that "Whatever is is right;" an aphorism that would be as final as it is lazy, did it not include the troublesome consequence, that nothing that ever was, was wrong."

It is full of similes and metaphors.

Answer 3

simile.... my kids room looks like a trash dump

metaphor ..... my kids room is a trash dump

You cant use 120 - 140 words as either. A simile compares two things, joined by the words like or as

A metaphor states one thing is the other.

Answer 4

The simplest way to help you with this is probably to reiterate what your tutor has hopefully already told you:

A simile is used when something is similar to something else (using the words 'like' or 'as'), so you could say something like, 'the city was so busy it was like an antheap' - saying that was what you thought it looked like.

A metaphor is for when you're being metaphorical (obviously) so you could say something like, 'the grass in the sunset field was tipped with gold' - which it wasn't really, but everyone will know what you meant...

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

Hate to break to you, but some of the people on here have lives. And, we can't do your work for ya sunshine.
The definition of simile is: A comparison between two objects with something in common using the words like or as
Metaphor: The comparison between two objects with something in common WITHOUT using like or as.

Answer 6

A metaphor is a comparison, a simile is a comparison using the words like of as..for example: It is as cold as heck outside, This place is like heaven, metaphor: This is hell, that place is a trainwreck...got it?

Answer 7

Room: Piles of clothes littered the floor like a range of small mountains.

Bathroom: The room shone like the sun itself.
