Simile: There were many similes in the story, so here is a couple. "Our bodies wanted to hibernate like bears" that was important to the story because that was after a very hard day of work at the concentration camps. Also, another one is "I felt like coming up for air after being under water" and that is important to the story because that is when Yanek was hiding under the floor after one of the most dangerous people in the camp, Amon Goeth was in his room.
Metaphor:There where many metaphors in the story, so here is two. "My stick-and-straw arms" that is important to the story because that is when Yanek could barely move after a day of work. Also, another one is "I almost was choking on my own fear" and that is important to the story because that is when Yanek almost got caught by Amon Goeth, and died.
Onomatopoeia: There was only a couple in the story, so here is one; "kachunked" and that is important to the story because that is when Yanek was going down the elevator to a salt mine in the concentration camps.
