What is the climax and an example of figurative language used in The Outsiders?I need at least two figurative language examples.

One example of figurative language found in The
Outsiders
 is the use of the word "tuff." Although it is a deliberate spelling
variation of "tough," the word "tuff" is defined as "cool"--fashionably popular. Another
example comes when Pony and Two-Bit run into some Socs at the Tasty Freeze before the
rumble. Two-Bit tells them,

"No jazz before the
rumble."



Naturally, they were
not going to play music--"jazz" is simply a figurative term for trouble or
physical violence.


The climax of the story comes near the
end when Dally is killed in the street by the pursuing policemen after Johnny has died.
The climax could be considered the continuing action of the rumble, the ride to the
hospital, Johnny's death, and Dally's death.
