Is this metaphor or simile ? Is this metaphor or simile (of none of these two ) ? : " The island lacks light and shade. It's like a loaf of bread, il will keep us alive, certainly, if we are starved of reading; but who will prefer it when there are tastier confections and pastries to be had? " Thanks !
