Write 5 points about Don'ts in 'True Friendship'. 

We have already learnt that when there occurs a comparison in the lines of a poem, the Figure of Speech in that line is a Simile. 

For example : as bright as a star
                       tall just like a tree

However, if the comparison made in the line of a poem is indirectly understood or suggested (implied) without using words (as .............. as, just like) and so on, then the Figure of Speech is called a Metaphor.

For example : Riya is the star of our class.
                       Life is a game. Play it well.

Now say which of the following are the examples of Simile and which contain Metaphor. 

1. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, like a Diamond in the sky.
2. The stormy sea, as dark as coal ____________
3. Old mighty tree, Your branches span the sky ____________
4. Time is money ____________
5. Like a caged bird sadly sings ____________
6. More than clouds, you are soft ____________
7. The Rose is the king of flowers ____________

When opposite ideas occur in the same line of the poem, the Figure of speech that occurs in that line is called Antithesis. 

For example: 

• Up and down the hill, they flew.
• Many are called, but few are chosen.
• The best of times, the worst of times.
