What is the author's likely purpose for the figurative language used in paragraph 6? Cite at least two pieces of evidence from the paragraph in your response. PARAGRAPH 6

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait;5 made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime6 was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn’t thaw it one degree at Christmas.
