What are two figurative languages in stolen children?

In the book "Stolen Children," two examples of figurative language are similes and metaphors. A simile is a comparison using "like" or "as," such as "the children were as quiet as mice." A metaphor is a direct comparison without using "like" or "as," for example, "the classroom was a zoo." These literary devices help create vivid imagery and enhance the reader's understanding of the text.
