Guns Figurative Language

The author used of figurative languages such as metaphor, "Already old men playing ball in a field between a row of shotgun houses and the magazine lumber company."

A row of shotgun depicts warm blood in them and the magazine lumber company shows the audience about triumph.

Another figurative language that the author wrote is simile, "In each stance and swing, a promise like a hesitation pitch always at the edge of their lives, arms sharp as rifles."

The author's use of simile to compare their stance and swing shows their effort to participate in the game, and their arms sharp as rifles conveys strength and morality.
