Hi. You didn't post the excerpt from which you are to find the figures of speech so I can't help with that but I am going to list some figures of speech below and hopefully, that will help you in finding the figures of speech for the excerpt.
Examples of a figure of speech:
This house is like a prison. (meaning someone who rarely leaves their home and is stuck at home)
He is a human garbage disposal. (meaning he eats all the time in excess)
I have butterflies in my stomach (meaning you're nervous about something.
I hope this helps.
Take care,
Diana
