Metaphor
"I love my brother dearly, but his mind is like a sieve."
Metaphor in Context
You see, years earlier I had taken his entrance examinations for him for medical school. The examinations then were not regulated as strictly as they are now. It was a simple thing for me to take the exams and sign our last name. He could never have passed them himself. I love my brother dearly, but his mind is like a sieve.
