It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.
Example of epic simile:
But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.
Normal simile:
As white as a ghost

On the day of the second selection, other prisoners were trying to comfort Wiesel because his father was part of the second selection.
During the first selection day, Wiesel and his father both thought they had cleared the selection. Wiesel's friends say that he ran so fast they couldn't even read his number. His father also thought he was in the clear until the next morning when he was told to stay behind in the camp for the second selection. Elie Wiesel was required to go to work, but everyone felt sorry for him, including the Kapo who assigned him an easier job. They all thought that Wiesel's last time seeing his father was that morning before they left.

One of the best ways to organize a great deal of information is by using an outline. Outlines do not need to be the same length. Your outline should follow the same structure, but the number of main topics, subtopics, and specific details may be different for you. Sometimes, people try to write the outline without any planning, but you must have progressed far enough in your planning first that you know at least three things which is the purpose of your paper, the thesis of your paper, and your audience. Then, you can brainstorm and list all the ideas you want to include in your writing, organize your work by grouping ideas together that are related to each other, order your work by dividing the material into groups ranging from the general to the specific, and label the work by creating main and subtopic headings and writing coordinate levels in parallel form. An outline has a balanced structure which uses the principles of parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division.
The most important principle for an outline's form is consistency. An outline can use topic or sentence structure, but be consistent in form all the way through. A topic outline uses words or phrases for all points; uses no punctuation after entries. This presents a brief overview of your work; is generally easier and faster to write than a sentence outline. A sentence outline uses complete sentences for all entries; uses correct punctuation. This presents a more detailed overview of work including possible topic sentences; is easier and faster for writing the final paper.
Lastly, for Keystone 6th grade English, we were supposed to use the alpha-numeric form. But, we could also have used the decimal form too! Alternating patterns of upper and lower case letters with alternating progressions of Roman and Arabic numerals mark the level of subordination within the alpha-numeric form of the outline. Progressive patterns of decimals mark the levels of subordination in decimal form of outlining. The decimal form has become the standard form in scientific and technical writing.
