I would say, Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

What was this person's explanation for Roger not beating up Arnold?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Grandma said that Roger did not hit back because he had respect. How does Roger show his respect for Junior the day after he was punched? He shows respect by commenting on Juniors ride to school by saying that it was cool.

Explanation:

Junior asks his grandmother for advice. The ever-wise Grandma (fig 9.1) tells Junior that Roger not fighting back probably means he respects Junior. Junior thinks she's plain crazy.
