Simile:
A figure of speech that compares one thing to another. All similes contains either “as” or “like”.
E.g
As innocent as a lamb.
As white as snow.
As happy as a puppy’s tail.

E.g

Jack was a rough diamond.
Hyperbole:
It is also form of figurative language. It is actually exaggeration used for effect.
E.g I was so tired I could sleep for six months.
