Simile as a Form of Comparison
Using similes are very effective. The use of similes
serves to explain a concept that might be difficult to grasp. The benefit of
using a simile is to create clarity of a statement by point of comparison,
allowing the receiver to develope his own interpretation using the point of
comparison that the simile suggests. A figure of speech bringing color to our
daily converse. Using similes will highlight detail and add character to any
description.
A
simile used to help one imagine the feel of a tiny kittens' paws was compared
to raspberries in the palm of your hand. Unusual but quite effective. An
unfortunate individual may never have experienced holding a very young kitten,
but may have held raspberries or berries in the palm of their hand. With the
simile used, they might capture the warming experience by imagining the feel of
the kittens' paws. Images prompted by a simile assist in understanding what
someone is trying to convey.
The example of
similes:

Doctors and airline pilots really are big earners.
2.
“An opportunity to study the great comics like Tommy
Cooper and Dave Allen.”Tommy Cooper and Dave Allen really were (in the
writer’s opinion) great comics.
3.

5.
‘Everybody knew he was slower than molasses in
January.’(Harper’s Weekly, 1889; cited by Barry Popik)
6.

Suggestion
We thought the semantics subject is
very difficult enough to understand its, so as the people who studied this
subject (semantics), they have to search many term that explanation more
detail. It can help them to be fast and easy to learn about semantics science
and the other relation.
