Avg score: 78% • Most missed: “What is the meaning of the simile in the sentence below?”

Similes make interesting comparisons, but metaphors can be more effective because a metaphor says that an object or person is actually something else. Stories and poems become more interesting and 'alive' when you begin to use metaphors and similes. Next time you write something, try to add one of each.
