What makes the author feel better about his situation?

in "diary 24" from the freedom writers diary

Thinking of his "crazy English teacher" from the previous year, who was the only person who encouraged him to be hopeful about his future; talking with two friends about her class and about the adventures and experiences they had while attending it; and discovering that she will be his teacher again all contribute to make him feel better, and eventually to make him feel at home, in spite of his difficult personal circumstances - he and his mom were evicted during the summer.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
