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.
