Methaphor is comparing two unlike things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A metaphor is a figure of speech that suggests a resemblance between two things by applying a term or phrase to something to which it is not literally applicable. As opposed to hyperbole, metaphors operate on appropriate analogy. E.g., "My love is a red red rose." A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared. Often, the comparative terms "like" and "as" are used. E.g. "She is like a rose." Hyperbole is obvious and intentional exaggeration. It involves inappropriate analogy or magnitude. E.g., "I've been waiting in line for an eternity!" A paradox is a statement or proposition that, on the surface, is self-contradictory or absurd but that in actuality expresses a possible truth. E.g., "A rich man is no richer than a poor man." An oxymoron is a juxtaposition (placing two things right next to each other) or combination of apparently contradictory words. E.g., "living dead", "black light."
