The Amity give Tris a drink to help her sleep after she gets into their compound. "The liquid is pink-red, like strawberries" (Roth 8). This is an example of a simile and it is comparing the color of the liquid to the color of strawberries.
Tris and Tobais are talking, after they reach the Amity head quarters, and Tobais asks Tris how is she, and then Tris thinks back to killing Will. "Just the thought of saying the words out loud makes me feel so heavy I could break through the floorboards" (Roth 11). This is an example of a hyperbole as well as a metaphor because it is comparing the dreary occurrence to actual heavy weight, and it's a hyperbole because Tris claims to feel like she would fall through the floorboards which is over exaggerated.
