Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you are referring to the passage found in the book "Collections Close Reader: Grade 8."

Explanation:

Remember, a simile is a literary device that compares two things that exactly aren't similar or alike as though they were, in other to give a good description.

For a simile about the narrator: one good example is when read;

"Chatter like a monkey when I command adult attention." Here the author uses the expression "Chatterlike a monkey" to depict the talkative nature of the narrator when given attention, just as how a monkey makes noise.

For a simile about the mother:  one good example is when read;

"She rises against the sun like a skyscraper, and when I draw her in my notebook, she takes up the entire page." The mother's bold and courageous nature is compared to the height of a skyscraper.
