Similes and Metaphor
In your reading book this week, I would like you to look for at least one simile and one metaphor.
Remember:-
A simile is when you say that an object is like another object.
A metaphor is when you say that something is something else.
Please write your simile and metaphor in the form of a comment to this post by Friday 25th May.
