Simile - " Then, wildly, like animals escaped from their caves."

Metaphor - "She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost."

Sensory language - A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths. The sun faded behind a stir of mist. A wind blew cold around them. They turned and started to walk back toward the underground house, their hands at their sides, their smiles vanishing away

Show Not Tell - "The children lay out, laughing, on the jungle mattress, and heard it sigh and squeak under them resilient and alive."
