Answer:

When Bigger says, 'Half the time I feel like I’m on the outside of the world peeping in through a knot-hole in the fence' he means that, he feels as if he is not a part of this world.

Explanation:

Bigger Thomas is a central character from the novel ‘Native Son’ which is authored by Richard Wright. The story revolves around a the protagonist Bigger who is poor and a black man.

In the novel we come across a phase when Bigger says, ‘Half the time I feel like I’m on the outside of the world peeping in through a knot-hole in the fence.’ By this he means that despite being a part of the world, he feels detached. He doesn’t consider himself as a part of it, he feels that this world is beyond his understanding.

Why does Curtis use similes in the scene on the patio Page 50-51? (The Watsons go to Birmingham)
FinnZ [79.3K]

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.
