What is An example of a simile in Tom Sawyer?

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer there are many metaphors. St. Petersburg symbolizes America or society, and going to Jackson Island symbolizes leaving society (the storm is showing the dangers of this).

You see, we are reading Tom Sawyer in English right now. I believe some of Mark Twain's metaphors are puns toward society. Such as, "I would rather be Sherwood Forests a day than President of the United States forever." He is kind of bringing down our society.* If anyone else has any other metaphors, please post! I have to write a paper over it! ://

p. 22 ch. 3 "Mary danced in, all alive with joy of seeing home again after a age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other."
