Brave New World Chapter 4

Simile-"He was like a man pursued, but pursued by enemies he does not wish to see."  Using like or as.  Pg. 63
Repetition-"Well, now she had said it and he was still wretched-wretched that she should have thought it such a perfect afternoon for Obstacle Golf, that she should have trotted away to join Henry Foster...Wretched, in a word, because she had behaved as an healthy and virtuous English girl..."  The multiple use of words, in this case "Wretched".  Pg. 64
Direct Characterization/Parallelism-"The mockery made him feel an outsider; and feeling an outsider he behaved like one."  Pg. 65
Analogy-"And tell him that Mr. Bernard Marx is waiting for him on the roof."  Bernard's last name I believe might be connected to the revolutionary socialist Karl Marx and therefore might be considered an analogy.
Metaphor-"Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly-they'll go through anything."  Pg. 70
