The difference between metaphors and similes is that similes hit you over the head with the comparison by using explicit words such as --like-- or --as,-- -- When Jon Bon Jovi sings --My heart is like an open highway,-- that's a simile because he used the word --like-- to directly make the comparison.Sep 1, 2011
