1.   “,civil war broke out and carried us away from Somalia as the wind carries drifting clouds.” (Farah 23)

a.   Metaphor

 Thanks for your Great question and that's what similes and metaphors do, they make us think. Only the writer knows the exact answer for your question, in my opinion. The writer and his family members are refugees. Did they know where they were going? How about drifting clouds, do they know where they are going?
