A simile is a figure of speech in which two
unlike things are explicitly compared, as in "She is like a
rose."
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a term
or phrase is applied to something to which it is not really applicable in
order to suggest a resemblance, as, "A mighty fortress is our
god."
A hyperbole is an intentional exaggeration not
intended to be taken literally as in, "The soldiers jumped the castle
walls."
