Answer:

The author is using a metaphor in this passage.

Explanation:

A methaphor is a literary device that compares one thing to another without being literal. In this case, the metaphor is "Lori is a hawk." Obviously, Lori is not really a hawk, but the author compares her to a hawk because she spotted and swooped in the mistake like a hawk would do with their prey. Unlike a similie, a methaphor does not use like or as to make the comparison.

Hello Davontecofield, a metaphor is a figure of speech that refers, for rhetorical effect, to one thing by mentioning another thing. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas, so you answer would be L<span>ori is a hawk.
A human can not be a bird unless Lori is a bird which Lori is the name of the hawk but unlikely lol and maybe swooped too.
