Analyzing Figurative Language 1 Jason could feel butterflies in his stomach as he entered the bustling airport. “This2place is a zoo!” his mother exclaimed as she got in line at the ticket counter behind about3a million other travelers. Like an obedient puppy, Jason followed. After waiting forever to4check their luggage, Jason’s family had a quick breakfast at the Dunkin Donuts counter5before heading off to airport security. “Great,” whined Jason, “another line.” As he glanced6ahead, Jason noticed that the main security guard looked more intimidating than Mr. T.7Finally, Jason placed his shoes, belt, and change onto the tired conveyor belt and8walked through the metal detector, relieved when he didn’t hear a beep. He collected his9items and finally reached the gate. Waiting in line to board the plane, an older lady asked10Jason how he liked flying. He was close enough now to hear the engines roar as they11came to life. “This is my first time,” he replied.
