An example of this in the passage is, “A light gritty film of snow on the ground, darkest in the crevices where you’d expect shadow so it was like a film negative.” The comparison of the shadows and darkness of the snow to a film negative helps the reader understand the frightful and dark image the author is trying to draw.

The beginning of the story contains an incredibly vivid simile, “[t]he smell of dust like a red paprika in the hot air” (Bradbury 1).This simile creates imagery and helps the reader picture the setting at that particular point in the story.This simile also helps you realize just how hot and dusty of a day it was.
