There are several examples of figurative language in these recent chapters we read. One is that early in the first paragraph of chapter 37, there was an example of personification and simile. In the same chapter, there are several examples of hyperbole/metaphors (My heart was chilled to ice. I felt ill with grief.) In chapter 37, Pi also gives Richard Parker (a tiger) encouragement like he would a human, and also treated like a human until remembering he was a tiger. In chapter 38, page 125, there was a portion where the ship was compared to a continent (a simile). On the same page, there was an example of hyperbole, and more personification. Throughout the chapters, there are multiple examples of hyperboles, personification, similes, and metaphors.
