Explanation:

Without knowing further details of the passage or book, we can only guess.  With that being said, the author may have used the simile to describe how as the night progresses, it gets darker, as if the security blanket was covering the area.

Maybe something like this.  Good luck.

Cheers.

Answer:

Beacause the author is trying to describe how night time is really like, a pitch black secrity blanket is very dark compared to the night time. So the author is comparing both of them to the same topic.

Hope it helps you out

Symbols found in the story a sound of thunder
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  • A sound of thunder is used to represent the T-Rex steps and Travis’s gun. The two things that cause giant turns in the story.
  • The butterfly Eckels kills is easy—the butterfly effect. Also, butterflies represent freedom, a freedom he killed when his actions changed the outcome of the election.
  • The path they’re supposed to stay on is written destiny. It’s the path that needs to be taken in order to get back to their normal lives.
