    🔍 A metaphor compares two unlike things *without* using 'like' or 'as'. It says something *is* something else to make a vivid description. 🍎 Simple metaphors help you understand how things are similar in unexpected ways. ✍️ Look for comparisons that aren't literally true but create a strong image in your mind. 💡 Examples: 'The classroom was a zoo' (compares classroom chaos to a zoo), 'Time is a thief' (compares time to someone who steals things).
