To solve this problem, we need to rewrite the given similes as metaphors. A
simile compares two things using "like" or "as," while a
metaphor directly states that one thing is another without using "like" or "as." Let's go through each sentence step by step:
---
1. Peter is like an animal on the soccer field.
-
Simile: The phrase "is like an animal" uses "like," which makes it a simile.
-
Metaphor: To turn this into a metaphor, we remove "like" and directly state that Peter is an animal.
-
Rewritten as a metaphor: Peter is an animal on the soccer field.
---
2. The light shone bright like a star.
-
Simile: The phrase "shone bright like a star" uses "like," making it a simile.
-
Metaphor: To turn this into a metaphor, we remove "like" and directly state that the light is a star.
-
Rewritten as a metaphor: The light is a star.

3. He was as brave as a lion.
-
Simile: The phrase "as brave as a lion" uses "as," making it a simile.
-
Metaphor: To turn this into a metaphor, we remove "as" and directly state that he is a lion.
-
Rewritten as a metaphor: He is a lion.
---
4. Mary was cheeky like a monkey.
-
Simile: The phrase "was cheeky like a monkey" uses "like," making it a simile.
-
Metaphor: To turn this into a metaphor, we remove "like" and directly state that Mary is a monkey.
-
Rewritten as a metaphor: Mary is a monkey.
---
5. Her eyes are like pearls in the ocean.
-
Simile: The phrase "are like pearls" uses "like," making it a simile.
