What figurative language is dillard using with her word choice (fobade, frick park, bums, bridges)?

Annie Dillard uses a series of literary devices in the form of figurative language in the book "An American Childhood".

In "An American Childhood", Dillard recalls her childhood experiences. She carefully gives details of how she gradually started to get into a more gloomy mood as she grew older. It struck her that her mother, who she admired for her distinctive personality was restricted to be a housewife for the rest of her life.

As she grows older she narrates how she started engaging in activities that her parents would "forbid", as getting into drag racing and smoking.

That would be simile. I hope I've helped!

there is no passage.

dioneo just might be like one of your friends. he is a good looking guy that can say whatever he want and get away with it. he's brings life because he can sing and play the lute. he is also dangerous because he can convince you to do anything for him because his wit is so sharp, you can not resist. dioneo is determined to take the next logical step and initiate a small campaign for freedom of speech. he does this by begging to be released from telling stories that conform to the daily theme. then, during his own time, he chooses a themes that are scandalous and he gets the response he expects.
