Simile or Allusion or both? [on hold]
An allusion is simply a brief mention of a person, place or event. A simile is a statement comparing similar qualities between two different things.
Consider the following examples:
- This place is like a Garden of Eden.
- She has a mysterious smile like that of Mona Lisa.
Are these examples of Allusion? or Simile? or both?
