Similes

As we discussed yesterday, Katherine Hannigan often uses similes in her writing to help us better appreciate what she's trying to describe.  As you read the five chapters that you are responsible for this weekend, post your favorite simile(s), along with page number(s), here.

    My favorite similes are on page 59.
    "I am like a snake in the spring."
    and "Mommy and Daddy are like birds."

    Those are great ones, Jared, but we already discussed those. I'm looking for examples from chapters 10-14.

    "By the time I was finished, my heart was a sharp, black stone that was small enough to fit in the psalm of my hand. It was so hard nobody could break it and so sharp it would hurt anybody who touched it." page 87 2nd paragraph
