1) The answer to your question would be that the bold faced words in the sentence are the direct object.

2) The answer to your question would be that the bold faced words in the sentence are the indirect object.

Explanation:

A direct object is the noun, pronoun, or clause receiving the action. The direct object answers the question what? For example, in sentence 1, ask what have you read ? The answer to that question is that gorillas will not cross rivers.  Therefore, that clause is the direct object of the sentence, as it is the answer to the question.

On the contrary, the indirect object is the noun, pronoun, or clause affected by the action.  The indirect object answer the question to whom? For instance, in sentence 2, ask to whom are you sending these free tickets? The answer to that question is whomever you like, the indirect object of the sentence.

taking into account that a theme is the central topic a text treats and can be developed through a story, play, poem etc. the following are themes that can be further developed:  

my best friend jeffrey has many unusual interests. (the story could be about each of the unususal interests)

once a man gives his soul over to evil, he can never go back. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

the three sheepdogs lay around the yard all day. (it could be developed detailing how each of these sheepdogs lay around)

a priest's collar has an unusual effect upon people. (it could be developed detailing the different effect upon people)

innocence is a powerful force in a world full of corruption. (it could be developed detailing how is a world full of corruption)

king lear is a play shakespeare wrote later. (it is just a sentence and doesnt give any idea or topic to be discussed in details.

evil often wears the disguise of innocence. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
