Imagery and Figurative Language What sense does the author appeal to when comparing

What else does he compare the event to?
I was twelve and in junior high school and something
happened that we didn't have a name for, but it was there
nonetheless like a lion, and roaring, roaring that way the

tablecloth those magicians pull where the stuff on the
table stays the same but the gasp! from the audience
makes the staying-the-same part not matter. Like that.
