Examples of Metaphor:

“The look on Danny’s face... his face a suffering mask of pain and compassion”

“He turns the game into a holy war and, in batting a line drive at Reuven, almost blinds him in one eye.”

“There is enough sanity in Reuven, though--presumably the heritage his father has passed on to him--to bring him to the realization that words themselves have little meaning unless they are rooted in life. If necessary, Reuven will show that he is capable of proving a formidable rival to Danny's father in his ability to untie knotty Talmudic propositions.”
