Decide whether each sentence contains a simile or a metaphor. If it is a metaphor, underline the metaphor in another color, and write "metaphor" after it. Finally, under each sentence, write what the simile or metaphor means.

1. The giant's steps were thunder as he ran toward Jack.

2. The pillow was a cloud when I put my head upon it.

3. The bar of soap was a slippery eel during the dog's bath.

4. I felt like a cheetah when I ran the race.

5. Those boys are like two peas in a pod.

the first and 5th one is a simile and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is a metaphor

SnowyBreaks · Answer

for the 1st one it's basically comparing the giant's steps with thunder, 
the 2nd one is telling you what it felt like when he put his head on the pillow
the 3rd one is telling you that the bar of soap was very slippery during the dogs bath.
the 4th one is him/her telling you that it felt like she/he had felt like she ran  like a cheetah
the 5th one is describing how the boys feel when they are together, meaning they're inseperable

sorry the last one, meaning they look exactly alike or seem familiar
