In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, a simile is used on page 103 when Scout describes her first day of school: "Jem condescended to take me to school the first day, a job usually done by one's parents, but Atticus had said Jem would be delighted to show me where my room was."

This simile, comparing Jem's act of taking Scout to school to a job parents typically do, highlights the sense of responsibility and maturity that Jem is displaying by taking on this task. It also hints at the absence of Scout's mother and the non-traditional family structure of the Finch household.
