The policeman described did not literally burst from the doorway, that is only an exaggeration to help us understand just how quickly the policeman came through the door.

This is a simile because it is comparing a bug on a riverbank to someone who wants to blend in using the word like.

Curley is comparing the owls' size to a beer can using the word as, therefore it is a simile.

(11) The author is comparing the kid to a psycho for skipping school without using like or as. This is a metaphor because it is comparing two things without using like or as.

When Dana is beating up Roy, she comments that he looks like a tomato using the word as making it a simile.

This is onomatopoeia because the word gargled is a sound effect.

This is personification because looks or someone looking at someone else can't be cold.
