Metaphor
 a figure of speech/literary device that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but makes a comparison without "as" or "like".

Here are the basics:
  • States that one thing is another thing
  • Equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism
  • If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?)
  • Adds some color to their language

Examples
He is a crow among the nightingales; 
He's the black sheep in the family; 
The white blanket that covered the city on the winter's morning ........
