Tone in rhetoric is how your writing is conveyed. The type of attitude that you portray. Rhetoric contains many devices such as foreshadowing, flashback, repetition, etc. Tone can be considered one of those devices as it can sway the reader and the writer can use it as what is called a 'Rhetorical strategy' to influence the reader.

Answer:
Three similes from the story "Raymond's Run" are:
1. "I'll high-prance down 34th Street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong . . ."
2. ". . . but people ain't grateful, so now she hangs out with the new girl Gretchen, and talks about me like a dog . . ."
3. "He looks around the park from Gretchen like a periscope in a submarine movie."
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the purpose of stating a similarity between them. In that sense, a simile would be similar to a metaphor. The difference is that simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. For example: My mind is like a bird. → Comparing one's mind to a bird helps convey the sense of freedom. One is free to imagine and think just like a bird is free to fly.
With that in mind, we can see that the three answers above use simile to compare the characters' actions to something that will help convey how those actions are performed. For example, the narrator compares the way her teacher looks around with the way a periscope moves when searching around.
"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara about the narrator, Squeaky, and her brother Raymond, who is a child with special needs.
