Can you please give me an example of a simile, metaphor, and personification from the novel "Lord of The Flies"? Lord of the Flies

A
is a literary device that draws a comparison
between two things using the words "like" or "as." Golding employs numerous
similes throughout the novel to characterize individuals and aesthetically add to theof the
story.

• "A rock, almost detached, standing like a
  fort, facing them across the green with one bold, pink bastion" (38).

• "The breezes that on the lagoon had chased their
  tails like kittens were finding their way across the platform and into the
  forest"  (46).

• "One patch touched a tree
  trunk and scrambled up like a bright squirrel" (60).

• "The sun gazed down like an angry
  eye" (82).

• " shushed him quickly
  as though he had spoken too loudly in church" (96).

• " silent as the shadows"
  (192).

A is a
literary device that makes an implied comparison between two seemingly different things that
paradoxically have something in common. In chapter 1,blows the conch, and the boys begin to
gather on the platform overlooking the lagoon. Golding uses a metaphor to describe the
appearance of the choir boys by writing,

Then the creature
stepped from mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but
mostly clothing (24).

The "creature" is
actually the two parallel lines of choir boys marching in unison towards the platform. Their
formation resembles that of a snake, which is why Golding uses the metaphor of a
"creature" to describe their appearance.


is a literary device in
which a thing, idea, inanimate object, or animal is given human attributes. Essentially,
non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that reflects human emotions and qualities. The
following are examples of Golding's use of personification throughout the novel:

• "A golden light danced and shattered just over his
  face" (15).

• "The heat seemed to increase
  till it became a threatening weight and the lagoon attacked them with a
  blinding effulgence" (17).

• "He trotted
  through the sand, enduring the suns enmity" (17).

• "Boys were making their way toward the platform through the
  hot, dumb sand" (22).

• "Far beneath them, the trees of the forest sighed,
  then roared" (139).
