Definition: Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.
Similes:
1. "They come in like a hurricane". Page 53

4. "It feels like a fist in my gut." Page 52
5. "My throat closes like the shutter of a camera, so that any visible air or excuses must move through a tunnel as thick as a pin." Page 54
