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 !

Hi Victoria. The above sentence is a simile. The way to tell the difference is by determining whether the comparison uses the words "like" or "as. If it does, it's a simile; if it does not, it's a metaphor.
