It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!.

That's not from a sonnet, though, but from Romeo and Juliet!.

I'd suggest you read the assignment, and find them yourself!. A metaphor is a comparison without the use of like or as!. A direct comparison between one thing and another, like "Juliet is the sun!."

A simile would be "Juliet is like the sun!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
