📚 Quick Study Guide

    🔍 A metaphor is a way of comparing two unlike things by saying one thing *is* another. It helps make your writing more interesting and descriptive.
    💡 A *direct comparison metaphor* directly states the comparison without using words like 'like' or 'as'. For example, 'The classroom was a zoo'.
    📝 To identify a direct comparison metaphor, look for statements that equate two different things.
