Compare and contrast metaphors and similes and their purposes.

Similes and metaphors are both forms of figurative language used to compare two subjects. Similes use "like" or "as". Example: "Her smile was like a gift from heaven." Metaphors don't use either. Example: "She had the heart of a lion."

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
