I need maximum no. of similes and metaphor present in the chapter A Short Monsoon Diary. Please I need this before 8 December6:00 am.
Both a metaphor and a simile are used to compare two objects/ phenomena/ qualities etc. While a simile has words 'like' , 'as', a metaphor doesn't. A metaphor compares two things that are very different from each other but share a common characteristic or denoting human characteristics to an object.
some examples from the chapter are:-
SIMILE - the scarlet minivets flitting silently among the leaves like brilliant jewels.
- the song of the whistling thrush emerges like a dark sweet secret.
METAPHOR - the song of the whistling thrush.
- wild dahlias, red, yellow and magenta, rear their heads from the rocky crevices.
- the blackest cloud I have ever seen squatted over Mussoorie.
Try to find out more such examples in order to understand the literary devices better.
