There are a few examples of similes and metaphors in this book. Firstly, "The old woman watched him with her arms folded across her chest as if she were the owner of the sun." "He had an expression of serious modesty on his face as if he had just raised the dead." "Mr. Shiftlet's smile stretched like a weary snake waking up by a fire." and lastly, "He seemed to be a young man, but he had a look of composed dissatisfaction as if he understood the thoroughly."
Hope this helped, happy studying!
