They went blind by getting there eyes pecked out
Answer:
" He handed me his worn brown leather jacket with the yellow sheep's-wool lining. "It'll get cold where you're going, but you can't risk being loaded down with blankets."
"Hop the three-fifteen freight to Windrixville," Dally instructed. "There's an old abandoned church on top of Jay Mountain. There's a pump in back so don't worry about water. Buy a week's supply of food as soon as you get there--- this morning, before the story gets out, and then don't so much as stick your noses out the door."
Dally gets the things he thinks the boys will need to get out of town: a gun, money, clothing, directions, and instructions.
Hope this helps!

Metaphor/D
a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
<span>In fact, it seems like the room and its creepy atmosphere might really be getting to our speaker. Even the rustling sound of the curtains seems sad to him .As he listens, he begins to really freak out, his head filling with "fantastic terrors."His heart starts to beat faster too; to calm himself down, he has to tell himself (twice) that the knocking sound he hears is just a visitor.<span>The more he says it though, the more we all know that it can't just be that, or at least not the kind of visitor he might be expecting…</span></span>
Idiom-a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. (Ex. A piece of cake)
Onomatopoeia-the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (Ex. Boom or crack)
Hyperbole-exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. (Ex.This guy escapes more times than Houdini)
I would say that this sentence is an hyperbole. This is because an idiom would be a form of figurative meaning that if different from the literal meaning. This is statement is bluntly advertised. There is no hidden meaning behind it. The word doesn’t resemble a sound either so it cannot be an onomatopoeia. I hope this helps
