A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things using explicit words like "like" or "as" (for example, "a man is like a wolf"), creating a figurative rather than literal comparison. Similes matter because they help writers and speakers communicate vivid, imaginative ideas by drawing surprising connections between things we wouldn't normally think of together.
