A simile compares two things using the words "like" or "as".
Example: As sly as a fox.
Quiet like a church mouse.

Simile, specific comparison by means of the words “like” or “as” between two kinds of ideas or objects. Examples of the simile are contained in the sentence “Christianity shone like a beacon in the black night of paganism” and in the line by the English poet William Wordsworth: “But, like a thirsty wind, to roam about.” (Compare with metaphor, above.)
A simile is a comparison of two unlike things, typically marked by use of "like" or "as". Examples include "the snow was as thick as a blanket", or "she was as smart as a crow".

A simile is when you compare one person/object with something else. It is mainly used to show emphasis on a particular thing, like for example 'her skin was white as snow'.

Simile is the Figure of speech used when direct comparison is to be made.We generally use conjunctions as 'like' and 'as' in simile.For example:-C.P.U is LIKE the brain of computer.But dont get confused in metaphor and simile.In metaphor indirect comparison is made.For example:-C.P.U IS the brain of the computer.
