• “The house shuddered, oak bone on bone, its
bared skeleton cringing form the heat, its
wire,”
Pages 10 – 11
As if the oak frame of the house is its skeleton.
3. Two
• “its nerves revealed as if a surgeon had torn
the skin off to let the red veins and capillaries
quiver in the scalded air.”
Pages 10 – 11
The pipe lines are the houses veins and
surgeon is ripping of its skin, which is its
exterior.
4. Three
• “The fire backed off, as even an elephant must
at the sight of a dead snake.”

An elephant retreats when it spots a snake, like
how the fire backed off from the house.
5. Four
“In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a
hissing sigh”
Page 1
As if the stove was hissing like a person.
6. Five
• “The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden
founts.”
Page 3
The sprinklers were shooting water, but in the
sunlight looked like golden streams of light or
water.

• “And one voice, with sublime disregard for the
situation, read poetry aloud in the fiery study
“
Page 12
As in no emotion.
8. Seven
• “The stove could be seen making breakfast at
a psychopathic rate.”
