Hi. Please help. I wonder if we could use the definite article before the word like "mirror" in similes like numbers 1 and 3 below. Or should it be like numbers 2 and 4? I think my topic is related to poetry and that's why I'm posting here in this thread. Any help from you would be appreciated.
1. is as useful as the mirror
2. is as useful as a mirror
1. is as useful as the mirror
2. is as useful as a mirror

Mirrors are not 'self-reflective'; they are simply reflective. That said, these are good:
It is as useful as a mirror.
It is reflective, like a mirror.
There is no reason to use 'the' unless the context has already spoken of a specific mirror. Please try to post in complete sentences so we can better determine your problem.
