Like a Little Sun (Simile)Īs Harry and the other bullies are picking on Conor, Ness writes that Conor’s stomach contracts to feel like a ball of fire, "like a little sun burning him up from the inside." In this simile, Ness illustrates the extreme sensation that Conor's anger and shame provokes by likening the sensation to that of holding a small fireball within his stomach. Anton says, "Your poodle's here to save you." In referring to Lily as a poodle, Anton uses the figurative language of a metaphor to tease her for her curly hair. When Harry, Sully, and Anton pick on Conor as he enters the schoolyard, Lily intervenes to stick up for Conor.
