An octopus, when you drag one from his chamber, comes up with suckers full of tiny stones: Odysseus left the skin of hisgreat hands torn on that rock-ledge as the wave submerged him.

A simile is merely something that states one thing is like another.

A simile is merely something that states one thing is like another.

It seems that the "like" is understood in this selection.

no one way i remember a simile is they use like or as in the sentence to compare 2 different things. For example: the little girl is as pretty as a diamond.

No a simile would be like, "Its as hot as the sun outside today."
