Create your own simile to compare what happened to the cyclops eye

In the book, Odysseus blinds Cyclops Polyphemus to quietly escape the island, this is similar to the escape Lee and his son did in the movie "A Quiet Place: Part 1".

Explanation:

In the book of the Odyssey, in his third journey, Odysseus and his men manage to reach an unknown island: the island of the Cyclops.

In song IX of the Odyssey, we are told about Odysseus' plan to escape from the island. The first thing was to recommend the Cyclops to drink the exquisite wine that he brought him. After the Cyclops drank so much until he fell asleep, Odysseus stabbed a sharp stick into his eye, leaving him blind and very carefully and quietly taking the opportunity to flee.

It seems to me that this form of escape was very similar to the one in "A quiet place" movie where monsters that kill humans require their sense of hearing to find their prey.

In one scene, Lee and his son Marcus see one of these monsters head-on. And they have to use stealth and calm to escape the place and go home to their family.
