What does the narrator mean in paragraph 7 when she says, “…these days are ill-defined in my memory, running together and combining like a fresh watercolor painting left out in the rain”? what type of literary device is the author using here? provide examples from the text to support your answer.

In the phrase, the author used "like", symbolizing that she is using a simile to compare her memory to the fresh watercolour painting left out in the rain (which would surely end a disaster as the painting would mix with the rain and become destroyed), which helps the reader have a familiar comparison to how she is feeling. You could also say she uses imagery to help the reader visualize and understand her struggles of her horrible past.
