Question

What Type of Figurative language is this: (PLEASE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY ) DUE BY MIDNIGHT!!!!!!

“Poverty was the cage in which we were all trapped, and our hatred of it was still the vague, undirected restlessness of the zoo-bred flamingo who knows that nature created him to fly free”

AND

“The half-dawn light was more eerie than complete darkness, and in it the old house was like the ruin that my world had become--foul and crumbling, a grotesque caricature”

Answer 1

The author used a Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

They used the example of a captivity-bred flamingo to compare to the feeling of being trapped, in which poverty may give you. And as for the second part of this passage, the author explains how although the flamingo, as like a penguin, was never meant to fly, it feels as though he is meant to do so, just as people in poverty are given the feeling that they are being held back from the money they could be making or the things they could be doing
