Which sentence from the excerpt is a simile? Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by
Lewis Carroll.
There were a number of tiny little brooks running straight
across it from side to side, and the ground between was
divided up into squares by a number of little green
hedges, that reached from brook to brook.
"I declare it's marked out just like a large chessboard!"
Alice said at last. "It's a great huge game of chess that's
being played-all over the world—if this is the world at
all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I WISH I was one
of them! I wouldn't mind being a Pawn, if only I might join
-though of course I should LIKE to be a Queen, best."
