Analysis:

1.“she was massaging her temples like she had a major migraine.”(335) This is obviously an example of a metaphor because the author uses like or as while comparing Ruth’s massaging to as if she had a major head pain.

2.“She grimaced like her head hurt- or like she was seeing something else.”(337) This is also an example of a metaphor because the author uses like or as while comparing Ruth’s grimacing to as if she was having a vision.

3.“I saw it cover and wrap her in a giant, clear plastic tarp, like she was being spooled into a huge roll of Saran wrap at ultrafast speed.”(339) This is also an finally another example of a metaphor because the author uses like or as while comparing Scarlette’s almost death to as if she was being wrapped in Saran wrap.

Quote:
- - -“the person he thought had been killing the heroes could read minds.”(337) This is an extremely important quote because it gives the readers a taste of what is about to come in Hero by Perry Moore. At this point, rare occasions have been happening where Heroes are being murdered randomly. This helps explains how some chosen have been killed and not others. The victims knew the murder’s identity.
