" I fell on the floor and pulled my knees up to my chest and crossed my arms in front of my head like a turtle in a shell." P.10 This simile is comparing Bud to a turtle in a shell. It is a good comparison because a turtle hides in it's shell when its scared and Bud was scared of Todd so he curled into a ball.

"He aimed his finger dead at me and said,"And look at him,Mother, this one's got 'bed wetter' written all over him." P.11 This is a hyperbole because it's exaggerating. It's a good hyperbole because he can't really have"bed wetter" written all over him.

"Somewhere between the time I threw my punch and the time it landed my fist came open and when my hand landed it made a pop like a .22 rifle going off." P13 This is a hyperbole because it's exaggerating. It is a good hyperbole because his punch can't really make the sound of a .22 rifle. It is also a simile because it uses the word "like" and it compares Buds' punch to a .22 rifle .It is a good comparison because Buds' punch was loud and so is a .22 rifle.
