Answer:
I believe the sentence is an example of simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that <u>a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison</u>, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.
Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.

Both men believe that their sons should be held accountable for their behavior.

Mister Edward also believes that Paul must be held accountable. In his dialogue, it's clear that he believes Paul deserves a punishment. However, he chooses not to whip Paul. Instead he revokes all of Paul's horse-riding privileges. He says, "you'll never get to ride Ghost Wind again...You won't ride any of the other horses either." Mister Edward believes that keeping Paul from riding the horses will keep him from doing something like this again since he'll remember the consequence and his actions better than if he had been whipped.
