“[Memory] is an abstract painting--it does not present things as they are, but rather as they feel” (paragraph 1). “Poverty was the cage in which we were all trapped, and our hatred of it was still the vague, undirected restlessness of the zoo-bred flamingo who knows that nature created him to fly free” (paragraph 4).

“But old fears have a way of clinging like cobwebs, and so when we sighted the tumbledown shack, we had to stop to reinforce our nerves” (paragraph 19).

“The world had lost its boundary lines...Everything was suddenly out of tune, like a broken accordion. Where did I fit into this crazy picture?” (paragraph 45).

“The half-dawn light was more eerie than complete darkness, and in it the old house was like the ruin that my world had become--foul and crumbling, a grotesque caricature” (paragraph 55).

* I need to know what type of figurative language each one of these are and a little examples of how the figurative language is used in context.
