Simile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last one. The only scenario where you wouldn't put a comma in the first quote is if it's a completed remark that uses particular punctuation such as a quotation or exclamation mark, but never a period. Hope this helped.
Grover was bullied because he was different, and his differences made it easy for other kids to bully him. He was scrawny, emotional, cripple (a muscular disease in his legs), and he walked funny.
Grover was an easy target. He was scrawny. He cried when he got frustrated. He must've been held back several grades, because he was the only sixth grader with acne and the start of a wispy beard on his chin. On top of all that, he was crippled. He had a note excusing him from PE for the rest of his life because he had some kind of muscular disease in his legs. He walked funny, like every step hurt him, but don't let that fool you. You should've seen him run when it was enchilada day in the cafeteria.
If this was the missing excerpt:
Millicent sat down at her desk in the big study hall. Tomorrow she would come to school, proudly, laughingly, without lipstick, with her brown hair straight and shoulder length, and then everybody would know, even the boys would know, that she was one of the elect. Teachers would smile helplessly, thinking perhaps: So now they've picked Millicent Arnold. I never would have guessed it.
—"Initiation,"

It can be inferred that Millicent has not always been popular. A lot of people did not take any notice of her. It can even be said that she is a wallflower. Somebody who is there but remains unnoticed.
