Similes and Metaphors

Similes:

  • "It's like riding a bicycle." -Sara, page 82.
  • And afterward, when the leaves turned and the snow came, every now and then I would rise in everyone's mind like a tide.-Anna, page 85
  • I used to pretend they were a single skin, that I was curled tight beneath them like on large heart.-Anna page 91.
  • The other thing I like is that Laundromats draw lonely people like metal to magnets.-Anna page 91.
  • I take a right and drive past a cementer, headstones canted forward and back like a set of yellowed teeth.-Sarah page 101.  


Metaphors:

  • My apartment, it is a work of art.-Campbell, page 75. 
  • Take it from me: love has all the lasting patience of a rainbow- beautiful while it's there, and just as likely to have disappeared by the time you blink.-Campbell, page 76.
  • I have seen her before be a tiger, fighting a medical system that isn't moving fast enough for her.-Anna, page 88.
  • It makes my heart, that runaway train, slow down.-Anna, page 89.
  • "You don't have to ask me twice." he says, his voice full of broken glass. -Anna, page 91.
