“this was such a big leap in logic, between what i said and what he said, that i thought we were like two people standing on separate mountain peaks, recklessly leaning forward to throw stones at each other, unaware of the dangerous chasm that separated us”. excerpt from the joy luck club by amy tan.

what form of figurative language is tan using?

Simile. This is because a Simile uses words like and as and they are comparing two things. Like is included in his sentence: “This was such a big leap in logic, between what I said and what he said, that I thought we were (like) two people standing on separate mountain peaks.." The narrator is comparing themself and the other character with "two people standing on seperate peaks"

Hope this helps you

Have a great day
