Metaphor paragraph

And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone .It ran with a gliding ballet step, far too poised and balanced for its ten tons.Time was a film run backward. It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest.

"Time was a film run backward"
Metaphors transfer a quality from a one thing to another.
The sound of thunder uses a great deal of metaphors particularly when describing the t-Rex. "folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest" tells the precision of the t-Rex claws, and that the t-Rex hands is very different to the rest of its body."The monster twitched its jeweller's" tells us that the t-Rex has very tiny hands."It ran with a gliding ballet step, far too poised and balanced for its ten tons" tells us that the t-Rex is walking very elegantly like a ballet dancer, saying that he is walking not how a dinosaur is supposed to walk . "And the head itself, a ton of sculpture stone", tells that the t-Rex has a very big head compared to the rest of his body size. The sound of thunder uses metaphors, it makes the story more interesting and it gives you a better idea about something. For example when he says how the claws are like a watchmakers delicate hands, so he uses something simple to describe something without using to many words.
