The simile It is a literary figure that allows to establish differences, comparison and similarities between two elements, whether they are objects, people, animals, thoughts, ideas or emotions. A characteristic of this literary device is that in the statement the participating elements are named, which differentiates it from the metaphor.
An example of a simile is the following: "His skin was as white as snow." As shown in the sentence, the simile is formed by links that allow making comparisons or similarities, these can be "as", "which", "similar to", "same as" or "so".
The main purpose of the simile is to give the text or statement a different point of view, which in turn gives it simplicity and gives it a certain aesthetic character. This literary device is commonly used by poets, singers and writers to transfer a quality from one object to another that may not be manifested in an obvious way..

the hidden mobiles, indecipherable sign
