Create an aesthetically pleasing image illustrating the concept of the phrase 'like a moth to a flame'. The imagery should convey the idea of attraction and danger, potentially using elements like a small moth flying towards a bright, warm light in a dark setting. The scene could be set in a quiet, serene night with a glowing flame as the sole source of illumination. Ensure no text is included in the image.

Is the phrase "like a moth to a flame" a simile or metaphor? i can see both....

Similes always use "like" or "as", which the phrase has "like" although it's not comparing...

So my answer is metaphor, but I'm not sure. Help!

Yes, it's a simile because of the word "like."

I know I misspelled two words; I figured it out as soon as I posted it. I always misspell language (and guard) for some reason and metaphor was an honest typo. My apologies.

I'm still confused...is the new phrase, "she's attracted to football players like a moth to a flame", comparing? Does a simile even have to be comparing?
Now that you made it complete, I think it's a simile because "like" is now used in the sentence.

It is a simile due to "like".

It is a simile.

Thanks.:-)

You're welcome.

its will be a similie cause of like

No, no, no its a hyperbole

The phrase is incomplete. We assume it's something like "She's attracted to football players like a moth to a flame."

Now what do you think this is?

Btw -- out of four words in your School Subject, you've misspelled two of them.
