An example of a simile used in writing about research:
"Anthropology, after Malinowski, was presented as a scientific exercise, but it was essentially an interpretive subject. It required an ability to see through everyday activities and reveal their deeper meaning: this was the 'ethnographers's magic', a kind of academic insight that could seem hopelessly elusive when your greatest challenge was to follow basic conversations in an unfamiliar language."
