Last lit term..for real!

This will be my last literary term for good! I just keep finding them everywhere in this book. The last one will be a similie. Similies are literally everywhere in the story. Here's a few that I will list:

  • page 49: "I'm like a cat."
  • page 137: "...they were simply a little something shameful between us, like the spilling open of the horses in bullfighting."
  • page 146: "Don't sit there looking like a bloody funeral."
  • page 167: " 'You know English,' I said, feeling like an idiot."
  • page 167: " 'He looks like a torero.' "
  • pafe 186: " 'I feel like hell.' "
  • page 226: " ' Low as hell.' "

All of these are different example of similies presented in the book. I think each of them provides more explaination to the reader. It is imagery because each of these things provides the reader with a picture in their mind. I know that this happened with me when reading. Also, it provides emphasis because it kind of exaggerates what is being said. For example on page 186, he doesn't just feel bad, he feels like hell. This makes a much stronger statement that just saying exactly what you feel. Similies are what authors use to describes things to a greater extent.
