What did the author mean by the following use of figurative language?: It(the nursery) was as empty as a jungle glade at hot high noon. (page 1)

The nursery felt abandoned the same way a jungle would if it were too hot during the day.

The nursery was really a jungle and the heat was turned up too high in the house.

The jungle was empty because it was too hot for the children to play in the nursery.

What did the author mean by the following use of figurative language?: That sun. He could feel it on his neck, still, like a hot paw. (page 4)

The heat of the sun was causing him to feel threatened and reminded him of lions.

The sun was hot and was actually burning his neck, making a sunburn in the shape of a paw.

There was a lion standing on his neck and it was making it hard for him to stand in the sun.

What did the author mean by the following use of figurative language?: The house fed, clothed, and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them. (page 1)

The house did everything for the family and the family enjoyed it.

The house was bored, so it decided to take care of the family.

The house was able to read the good thoughts of the family.

What did the author mean by the following use of figurative language?: This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents. (page 9)

The parents had let the nursery take their place in the lives of the children so the children preferred the nursery over their parents.

The nursery had brainwashed the children so they thought that the nursery was more important and was actually their parents.

The children had reprogrammed the nursery so no one was able to tell who the parents were or what was important.
