2. Pick out metaphors and similes and analyze them;

Some examples of similes that the author used was “her eyes that looked enormous, like the great, wide, startled brown eyes of an owl”, this was used by the author due to Irene’s feeling of deep pain that struck her ad made her motionless in one corner and the feeling of being imprisoned by her own grief and despair. Another is “she had come back like an animal wounded to death”, the word wounded to death deals with the pain. Compared to an animal instead of a human due to its helplessness when an animal is about to be preyed by another animal. “Again he looked at her, huddled like a bird that is shot and dying,” this correlates to a dying animal in helpless situation, that for the author, Irene was drowned by hr emotions that she herself doesn’t know how to help herself. The metaphors that the author used in the excerpt are as follows: “the ghoulish cries mingled and jangled with the sound of those church bells, whose poor breast you see panting as the air is taken from it, firelight playing over her motionless figure, and the sight of her figure, huddled in the fur, was enough.” All this metaphors are used in the passage to make it attractive and interesting to the readers and at the same time make use of their imagination while reading the passage.
