Like Or As

 Caterpillar

"Bailey remained in the 

driver's seat with the cat-gray 

striped with a broad white face 

and an orange nose-clinging to his 

neck like a caterpillar." 

(398 R.)

 Hippoptamus

"She had her big 

black valise that 

looked like 

the head of a 

hippopotamus." 

(393 R.)

                          Snake

The Mist fit sprang back as if 

a snake had bitten him and 

shot her three time 

through the 

chest." 

(403 R.)

uhhh... some of these are quite disturbing, hippos, caterpillars, and snakes. Mostly animal 

references, which is interesting, because I guess it is way easier to picture animals. Also, these 

animals mentioned are not that attractive, at least not like a butterfly. :) This is good though 

because that adds to the style by the author writes this story.
