Similes (Benzetme) kullanmanın sebepleri

Benzetmeler, dili daha ilgi çekici, açıklayıcı ve yaratıcı kılmak için güçlü bir araçtır.

Zihin imgeler ve çağrışımlar yoluyla düşündüğü için benzetmeler, sıfatlardan veya kesin tanımlamalardan daha güçlü ve etkili tanımlamalar ortaya çıkarabilir; bağlantılı duyguları harekete geçirebilir, yeni zihinsel bağlantılar oluşturabilir ve belirli özelliklerin altını çizebilirler.

Ortak konuşmadan şiire, yaratıcı ifade için benzetmeler neredeyse gereklidir.
