Question

please please please, someone help me out.

Answer 1

can you give your teachers your own opinions?

how about you just kind of derive it from the story..

say,

the similes in it are for "imaging" -- to help the reader picture the events/actions/drama (?) :) -- then here, you can cite some examples (as in conversations/narrations from the text where this is manifested) to prove this claim

or

the similes are a big part of the Twain's style, -- and find things "inside" the text as proofs

that's what i did with one of mines... (well not exactly the same topic, but ya that's the method and my teach loved it)
