Personification:

“On the way back home they were on board when the P & W had its famous crash, when the motorman was drunk and took the high trestle over the Schuylkill River at sixty miles an hour, and the whole kaboodle took a swan dive into the water.”

Simile:

The book came flapping like a wounded duck and fell at Jeffrey's feet.

Metaphor:

Finsterwald's back- yard was a graveyard of tennis balls and baseballs and footballs and Frisbees and model airplanes and one- way boomerangs.
