Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for the simile to be analyzed and the question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
A simile is a comparison between two elements that do not have a direct context, but that can create a new and meaningful concept when compared. This is because, even in the midst of differences, the two elements manage to present a relationship through the simile. In that case, you should read your text and be able to identify that comparison and what it means. These comparisons made through the simile usually present the words "like" and "as".
An example of a simile is the phrase "The hair was dark like a night without stars," where the elements "hair" and "night without stars" have no direct context, but compared to form a relationship and presenting a characteristic between them.
