Out of the noise of tired people working, Harried with thoughts of war and lists of dead, His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing, Clean boyish beauty and high-held head. (Sara Teasdale, “A Boy”) In the passage above, which lines are examples of a simile?

Respuesta :

His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing is the answer.

Answer:

His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing

Explanation:

A simile is a rhetorical device that we use when we compare one element (A person, a thing, an event, a feeling, etc.) to another element, figuratively speaking, because in reality these elements may not be related in any way. An essential characteristic of this device is that we always use words like "such as", "as" or "like", like in the excerpt, in which the author is suggesting that his beauty met him or her like a fresh wind blowing would do. As you can see, when we use a simile we also make our descriptions more colorful, vivid and meaningful.
