In "The Hunger Games" series, Beetee uses a simile to compare Wiress to a "broken clock," highlighting her erratic behavior and disjointed thoughts. This comparison emphasizes her intelligence yet also her struggles to communicate effectively, reflecting her state of mind and the toll the Games have taken on her. It serves to illustrate both her brilliance and vulnerability in the face of their harrowing circumstances.
Simile. it uses as
Any comparison that uses like or as is a simile. Otherwise it is a metaphor. Like a giant bird flapping its wings, the airplane flew over the field. Simile. The airplane accelerated down the runway and with a mighty leap the giant bird flew into the sky. Metaphor
A ratio uses division to compare two quantities.
No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.
A SIMILE is a phrase that describes something in comparison to the characteristics of something else, usually using the words like or as.Some examples:He is as sneaky as a weasel.A book is like a good meal.Her teeth are like pearls.A METAPHOR directly compares two things which may be quite different, because one has a characteristic that is similar to the other. It usually uses linking verbs such as is, are, was or were.Some examples:That guy is such a snake in the grass.Her eyes were glowing coals.That linebacker is a mountain.

Wiress was not only smart, but intuitive. She was an intellectual genius, inventive, and clever. Wiress was the first to realise how the arena worked in the 75th Hunger Games, but due to being in a state of shock, she could only repeat the words: "Tick, Tock." Beetee was highly intelligent and his greatest weapon was his knowledge of electricity. He won his first Hunger Games by creating an electrical trap and electrocuting the other tributes. He uses his knowledge of electricity in the 75th Hunger Games by suggesting that they use the lightning to send a current into the highly conductive lake, resulting in the electrocution of anyone in the lake or on the damp sand. This may have been a ploy, as Beetee was later found unconscious having tried to ram a spear coiled in the wire, into the forcefield. As both were from District Three (Technology), they were likely to have knowledge of electricity and technology. They were both able to deduce the forcefield in the training centre.
