Here’s a tip: Similes are like metaphors, but metaphors aren’t similes.A metaphor makes a comparison by stating that one thing is something else, but a simile states that one thing is like something else. Metaphors and similes both compare two different things, but similes use the words “like” or as,” while metaphors do not.
If you’re trying to tell the difference between metaphors and similes, the more obvious comparison in similes makes them easier to identify as figures of speech. While someone might actually think that Elvis Presley has a hound dog who happens to be particularly noisy, imagine if his lyric went “You’re like a hound dog,” or “You’re as whiny as a hound dog.” In these cases, Elvis would be using a simile, which makes it a bit clearer that he’s not actually :singing to a sad puppy.
But on the flip side, the rhythm wouldn’t be quite as catchy.Read up on similes, and check out these examples to get a taste for how they work

1.1 Different types of metaphors
Let’s rewind to the definition of a metaphor as a figure of speech. Another example is that catchy tune, “You are my sunshine.” Although you aren’t literally a ray of light, you probably have a similarly uplifting effect on the speaker.
But the definition of metaphor is actually broader than that. Often, metaphor is used loosely to mean any kind of symbolism. In literature, there are are many other types of metaphors, too: sustained, implied, dead, and others.
Implied metaphor(nazarda tutilgan metafora)
Implied metaphor departs from the “thing A is thing B” formula and allows you to make a more sophisticated and subtle type of comparison through—you guessed it—implication.
Take these two sentences:
1.Jordan got his courtship cues from the peacock.
2.In a room full of ladies, Jordan simply fans his feathers.
In both sentences, we are comparing Jordan to a peacock. In the first sentence, the comparison is overt: the peacock is mentioned directly. But in the second sentence, we imply that Jordan is the peacock by comparing his behavior (fanning his feathers) to something peacocks are known for doing. That isn’t meant to suggest that Jordan actually has feathers, but that he is behaving in a showy and flirty way to catch the attention of the ladies.
