Is she was like a bird in a cage a metphor

no it is a simile

Explanation:

it uses "like"

Hello, I believe this phrase would actually be a simile as it uses the word "like" to compare her to a bird in a cage. Metaphors do not use connecting words like "like" or "as" when making comparisons. If it was a metaphor it would say she is a bird in a cage instead of using like in the statement.

i do not know what the passage is but i can give some examples

1. repetitive phrases may be used to create a emphasizing tone

2. pauses in sentences are used to create a dramatic effect but can also be suspenseful

3. using lots of exclamation marks and loud speech such as words in all caps can be creating a excited or possibly angry tone.

4. using lots of questioning phrases my mean that they are in suspicion of something.

5. using lots of questionable statements or questions can imply of a sneeky or sly tone.
