Similes:

"On the sands of the banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray stones"

"...drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse."

Metaphor:

Tha game of Solitaire is a metaphor for loneliness.

Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.
