Sec 4E - Literary Device

This post is for Sec 4E students only, not Sec 2E.

Please put your answer in the comments section of this post.

Use the 3-Step Method when answering this question.

I will post the answer here later at about 8 pm.

The writer uses simile 'blaze like a Christmas tree inside'. What does this suggest about Leonard Mead?
1. Inside = his lungs and the Christmas lights on a tree
2. Appearance/the way his lungs behaved when he breathed the air in
3. His lungs swelled up with oxygen with each intake of air and every time it takes in the cold air , he would breathe out warm air is as though the bulb from the Christmas tree would light up from the electricity.

Or his alveoli would take in oxygen and increase  in size and he would breathe out  the warm air. His alveoli would be similar to the Christmas lights being lighted up on the tree. 

Simile
