10 Things

I'm sorry, you did not cite a specific simile, so I have provided an example from GraveSaver's study guide for the unit.

The simile "It felt like the bull was sitting on my chest" conveys the intense sensation of a panic attack the narrator is experiencing. By comparing the feeling to a bull sitting on their chest, the author effectively communicates the overwhelming and suffocating nature of the panic attack. The simile suggests a sense of helplessness and an urgent need for relief, highlighting the severity of the panic attack and its impact on the narrator's ability to breathe and function normally.
