A metaphor and a simile both describe something using a comparison to something else, but a metaphor does it an implied way, and a simile does it explicitly by using the word like or as.

Example of a simile: She looked like a cat that had just been thrown in the water.

Example of a metaphor: She was a blank slate, ready to start anew.
