Compares two things without using like or as...

His heart is stone.

After a long day my bed was calling my name.

The baby was cute like a kitten. 

Expresses an over exaggeration...

My teacher is a fire-breathing dragon.

The fire ran wild.

I have millions of pencils in my desk.

This picture is an example of what kind of figurative language?

Reference to something/someone fictional, biblical, historical, or mythological to make a point

She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart, She'll turn cold as a freezer.
