Book+3-+The+Lost+Boy-+Figurative+Language

= media type="custom" key="17954338" = = The figurative language that appears in The Lost Boy fits very suitably with David's emotions. David feels that there is no escape because he doesn't have friends or anyone to take his back. For him to feel like an insect about to be squashed fits his story because at that time in his life, no one has any idea that David needs to be rescued from his crazy mother. When David's trial ends and his mother has lost all rights of him, deep down inside David feels that his mother is lurking around like a coiled snake ready to atack him at any corner. =
