A metaphor is where you say something is something else, in order to compare similar traits.

The best one to use is one you find yourself

Your definition is correct but your example is wrong.

Have you written and practice essays? Consulted your teachers? Done past papers? Past questions?

To be fair, you can do well without doing all that. Not 99 well, but still pretty good.

You should already have quotes and techniques memorised though.

Metaphor: The comparison of one thing to another that does not use the terms “like” or “as.” A metaphor from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Life is but a walking shadow.”
