The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

Help please the story is wonder!
Katarina [22]

It should be noted that Wonder is a powerful story of a 10-year-old boy who was named August Pullman, who has an anomaly on his face.

<h3>What is the story Wonder about?</h3>

The boy is an ordinary kid who had 27 operations done on his face and due to this, he will never look normal.

It tells the story of 10-year-old Auggie Pullman with facial differences, and his experiences in everyday life dealing with the condition.
