What dose simile means?

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as". It helps to create a vivid image in the reader's mind by drawing a comparison between something familiar and something unfamiliar.

Here are some examples:

* "The man was as strong as an ox." (Compares the man's strength to the strength of an ox)

* "Her eyes were like stars." (Compares the woman's eyes to stars)

* "He ran like the wind." (Compares the man's running speed to the wind)

Similes are often used in poetry, literature, and everyday language to make writing more interesting and descriptive.
