How to Write a Short Story

Literary Devices

 A common figure of speech that makes an explicit comparison between two things by using words such as like, as, than, appears, and seems: "A sip of Mrs. Cook's coffee is like a punch in the stomach." The effectiveness of this simile is created by the differences between the two things compared. The title of Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" contains a simile.
