The two uses of figurative language that create a vivid understanding of the character Emil are:
-
"Emil has been perfecting his robotics project for 50 million years." (This hyperbole exaggerates the time Emil has spent on his project, emphasizing his dedication and hard work.)
-
"Emil’s work with robotics makes him the Einstein of Lincoln High School." (This metaphor likens Emil’s intelligence and skill in robotics to that of Einstein, illustrating his brilliance and talent.)
These figurative expressions highlight Emil's commitment and exceptional abilities as a student in the robotics club.
