It can be seen as a form of literary art that combines the elements of poetry and storytelling.

Explanation

Simile is a type of literary device that uses the words "like", "as", or "a" to make a comparison between two different things. It helps to create vivid imagery and enhance the reader's understanding by drawing parallels and highlighting similarities. Similes are often used in poetry, prose, and everyday language to add depth and creativity to descriptions. Unlike hyperbole, which exaggerates for emphasis, and personification, which gives human qualities to non-human entities, similes specifically focus on comparing two things using explicit comparative language.

Explanation

Tone refers to the attitude or emotion conveyed by the author in a piece of writing. It helps to create a specific mood or atmosphere and can also add clarity and emphasis to a sentence. By using different tones, authors can effectively communicate their intended message and engage the reader. Punctuation, on the other hand, is the use of marks such as commas, periods, and question marks to indicate the structure and organization of a sentence. While punctuation is important for clarity and understanding, it does not directly create sense, clarity, and stress in a sentence like tone does.
