 Assonance
-Assonance is refrain of vowel sounds to create internal 
rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with 
alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building
blocks of verse.
Assonance is found more often in verse than in prose. It
is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and
is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and 
Celtic languages.

 Diana would go to almost any…[page

243,paragraph 4,first sentence]
 Her clothes were now..[page 254]
 She checked her mileometer..[page 254]
Simile
-a figure of speech which involves a direct comparison
between two unlike things,usually with the words like or
as.
Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of
comparison, similes allow the two ideas to remain distinct in
spite of their similarities, whereas metaphors compare two
things without using "like" or "as". For instance, a simile that
compares a person with a bullet would go as follows: “John was
a record-setting runner and as fast as a speeding bullet." A
metaphor might read something like, "When John ran, he was a
speeding bullet racing along the track."
 Some simile in the Never Stop On The
Motorway are:
 When she drove up onto the street the
stream of twilight traffic was just about
keeping pace with the pinstriped
pedestrians who,like worker ants,were
hurrying towards the nearest hole in the
ground.[page 242]
 She shook her fist at him and accelerated
away,but he simply swung across behind
her like an Olympic runner determined not
to allow his rival to break clear.[page 249]
