I would contend that "the snow blanketed the earth" was a metaphor, not a simile. BevRowe

"The snow blanketed the earth" is a simile. I put it in the article for a reason, which I stated, that similes do not have to include the word like or as. I just added a bit more making the point more clearly. "The snow blanketed the earth" is a shortened form of "The snow covered the earth like a blanket" and is thus a simile. "The snow was a blanket over the earth" is a metaphor. Similes compare, metaphors equate. Ortolan88 20:28 Feb 15, 2003 (UTC)
