Imagery and Figurative Language What sense does the author appeal to when comparing

What else does he compare the event to?
I was twelve and in junior high school and something
happened that we didn't have a name for, but it was there
nonetheless like a lion, and roaring, roaring that way the
biggest things do Everything changed. Just like that. Like
the rug, the one that gets pulled-or better, like the
tablecloth those magicians pull where the stuff on the
table stays the same but the gasp! from the audience
makes the staying-the-same part not matter. Like that.
-"The Secret Lion,"
Alberto Alvaro Ríos

figurative language?
