Metaphors, Similes and Language Features

What is a metaphor? To me, I think metaphors are a way to talk about one thing by describing something else like "there's an elephant in the room" this doesn't mean that there an elephant in the room. What this metaphor is describing is a tense feeling in the room.

What is a simile? Similes are like "sweet as honey" it is making a comparison is what simile mean to me.

Here are 2 songs that contain metaphors and similes

Sunflower by Post Malone, Swae Lee

"You're a sunflower" is a metaphor

Moonlight by Ariana Grande

"He's giving me Elvis with some James Dean in his eye" is a simile

Language Features

I found some new language features that I don't know.

Irony - Definition is the opposite of what you mean. Effect - Can be funny, expresses the writer's attitude/tone to the subject.

Jargon - Definition is a specialised language related to a particular topic/group of people. Effect - Shows expertise in a certain area.

About me

Name: Nini Soundala


I’m 16 years old and when I leave school I’m going to Victoria University of Wellington to become an architect. The length of training is 8 - 10 years I know it a long time but it is my passion. I want to design a better building and design better city using biomimicry. Biomimicry is the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modelled on biological entities and processes.


Pet: I have 2 cat Lingling and Nougning. I also got 3 goldfish and their name is Thicc, Redhead, and Tiger.

What I like to do in my free time is shopping cuz spending money make me feel good. Also, I like watching anime and movies. I listen to Work from Rihanna and Bodak Yellow from Cardi B.
