Can you help me on simile and metaphors??

Question

is this sentence a simile or a metaphor very carefully she (cilla) began to tie the child's halo of pale curls...simile or metaphor?

Answer 1

It's a metaphor. A simile uses "like" or "as" to make the comparison between unlike things.
Example: She looked like an angel

In your sentence, "the child's halo of curls", the curls are directly compared to a halo, without using "like" or "as."
A simile - or to be like/as something - is to retain some irresolvable difference which means one can never fully substitute for the other. On the other hand, a metaphor actually is a substitution - it is an equation in principle. It could be said, then, that:

A metaphor is an equation where a simile is an approximation.
