What words indicate a simile?

Similes use specific words to create a comparison between two things. Here are the most common words that signal a simile:

* Like

* As

* Such as

* As if

* As though

* Resembles

* Seems

* Looks like

* Is like

Examples:

* Like a raging bull, the angry man stormed out of the room.

* The music was as sweet as honey.

* He walked as if he were on a tightrope.

* Her smile resembled the sun breaking through the clouds.

* The house seems like a haunted castle.

It's important to note that not all sentences with these words are necessarily similes. The key is that the sentence must be comparing two distinct things.
