Nice essay, I am sure you can find two examples of figurative language in the story.

(As a Canadian I am just going to say Thank your out of habit)
I could not please help pleaseeee :)
As I swiped it for the twentieth time without success, he shot me a look that would have driven the bank's happy face-drawing person to drink.

The look on his face indicated he was silently willing my head to explode.

Thank you please help me on my other posts please and thank you help will be appreciated
