A metaphor is a comparison that doesn't use the words 'like' or 'as'. A simile is a comparison that uses 'like' or 'as' to compare. The hero is a speeding train that cannot be stopped = a metaphor The hero is like a speeding train that cannot be stopped = a simile I hope this helps, metaphors mean you use a word as a comparison, but you use it without comparing.
