ok, so in my english 2 honors class we've already read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. My teacher is having us do a paper. She has assigned us to specific chapters, and we (the students) are supposed to pick a passage out of our assigned chapter, find 3 different literary devices, and write a paper about how they affect the chapter we're doing etc...
so, i've found 2 good ones, each with more than 1 example. And i found simile, but i can only find one example in the passage, and i need two in order to make simile a paragraph. so... can anyone find another example of simile?
Presently after, he sat on one side of his own hearth with Mr. Guest, his head clerk, upon the other, and midway between, at a nicely calculated distance from the fire, a bottle of a particular old wine that had long dwelt unsunned in the foundations of his house. The fog still slept on the wing above the drowned city, where the lamps glimmered like carbuncles; and through the great arteries with a sound as of a might wind. But the room was gay with firelight. In the bottle the acids were long ago resolved; the imperial dye had softened with time, as the colour grows richer in stained windows; and the glow of hot autumn afternoons on hillside vineyards, was ready to be set free and to disperse the fogs of London. Insensibly the lawyer melted. There was no man from whom he kept fewer secrets than Mr. Guest; and he was not always sure that he kept as many as he meant. Guest had often been on businnes to the doctor's; he knew Poole; he could scarce have failed to hear of Mr. Hyde's familiarity about the house; he might draw conclusions: was it not as well, then, that he should see a letter which put that mystery to rights? and above all since Guest, being a great student and critic of handwriting, would consider the step natural and obliging? The clerk, besides, was a man of counsel; he could scarce read so strange a document without dropping a remark; and by that remark Mr. utterson might shape his future course
the bold part is the one simile i found. and i need another example
i'm thinking with a sound as of a might wind might be another but i'm not sure..
if you're not sure what a simile is it is a comparison of two different things or ideas through the use of the words like or as: The warrior fought like a lion
so... if anyone can find another simile that would be awesome
