The simile used is "Momma's voice got strange, hissing like a snake."

This detailed simile, used when Wilona is enraged at Byron for playing with matches, underlines Wilona's rage.

The snake, in particular, is an animal associated with malice and wickedness, therefore comparing Wilona to a snake emphasizes how fed up she is with Byron and his pranks.

Only long after this do Daniel and Wilona resolve to take action against Byron once and for all.

<h3>What is a simile?</h3>

A simile is a device of speech that compares two things explicitly. Similes vary from other metaphors in that they highlight the similarities between two items by employing comparison terms like;

  • "like,"
  • "as,"
  • "so," or
  • "than,"

On the other hand, metaphors generate an implicit comparison.
