<span><span>The figure of speech that the author used in the passage is simile. The excerpt represented above contains comparison of two things. You may mistakenly assume that it is a metaphor, but only simile employs such comparing words as 'as', and 'like'. And the sentence that is made up of a simile is 'Like an oyster, he closed his shell, and wouldn’t talk to anyone. '</span>
