"Motels had sprouted liked toadstools after a rainstorm..." (113) This is an example of a metaphor. the reason i chose this metaohor is because i like how it talks about toad stools and the common subject of motels. For me its hard to imagine not driving down 394 and not seeing half a dozen motels/ hotels.

"...worrying her fingernails like a string of Job's tears." (114) This is an example of a metaphor. The reason i like this sentence is because i like how it compares to a bible refrence. It shows the time period where people could whip out a metaphor talking about the bible effortlessly.

"Tears burned my eyes like i was peeling ramps." (119) this is another metaphor. Its a good exampe because she is so sad that it reminds her of peelinga spicy vegetable that made her cry. so somber!
