Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

calpurnia was something else again. she was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed slat and twice as hard. she was always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking me why i couldn't behave as well as jem when she knew he was older, and calling me home when i wasn't ready to come. our battles were epic and one-sided. calpurnia always won, mainly because atticus always took her side. she had been with us ever since jem was born, and i had felt her tyrannical presence as long as i could remember.

pick three uses of figurative language in the excerpt above and explain in at least 150 words what they mean and how they affect the reader's impression of calpurnia.
