“In the eastern sky there was a yellow patch like a rug laid for the feet of the coming sun . . .” — The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane

Then, explain.  Tell which type of figurative language it is.  Describe the comparison being made and what it shows.

This is a simile.

It compares a yellow patch of light in the sky to a rug set out to offer a walkway for the sun.  The simile paints a picture so that the reader can imagine how the path of the sun's light will follow almost like a carpet that is rolled out for one to walk on.  I think of a welcome mat outside one's door or a red carpet rolled out for an awards show.  The simile sets a mood that is warm, welcoming and inviting.
