I know this because in the sentice it uses the word like. When you use similes you are compering two things.For example Percy is compering the feeling in his stomach to the feeling of a fastball hitting his stomach.  ]]> 2021-05-26 13:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jaddeo2/6urqgfr16enm105/wish/1561378963 marlon https://padlet.com/jaddeo2/6urqgfr16enm105/wish/1561379654 when percy said that his question caught his stomach like a fastball it means charon's question hit him with shock and made him nervous.
