What is a simile in Paul Bunyan?
A simile is a comparison between two unlike objects using the words "like" or "as". For example, "Thor’s hammer is as loud as thunder", "Her love is like a red rose" or "My mother was as mad as a rabid dog."
In terms of Paul Bunyan, "Big trees fell like toothpicks when Paul Bunyan swung his axe" is correct.
