what do you think?
After reading this passage again, I found two similes . One " At his arrival in the market place, and some time before she saw him, the stranger had bent his eyes on Hester Prynne. it was carelessly, at first, like a man chiefly accustomed to look inward, and to whom external matters are of little value and import unless they bear relation to something within his mind. (Hawthorne 67)."
And Two "Very soon, however, his look became keen and penetrative. A writhing horror twisted itself across his features, like a snake gliding swiftly over them, and making one little pause, with all its wreathed intervolutions in open sight. (67)",
Very good! I knew you could do it!
