What are some similes in chapter 1 of To Kill A Mockingbird?

In chapter one, similes help us feel part of the richly imagined community of Maycomb. They also help to characterize Dill.

In the opening paragraphs, the narrator paints a picture of the slow-moving, old-fashioned southern world of Maycomb and its white privilege: "Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o’clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."

A sense of Dill's essential innocence and purity emerges in this simile: "his hair was snow white and stuck to his head like duckfluff."

Stephanie Crawford represents, in contrast, the way some people in the town stereotype Boo Radley as a monster when she says of him that his "head was like a skull lookin‘ at her." This is a stock simile, a cliche lacking in imagination.

In discussing Dill's strong desire to get Boo out of the house, Jem says  "it’s sort of like making a turtle come out…" In the way Dill reacts to this simile with imaginative and sensitive engagement, we learn more about his essential humanity. When he finds out that, according to Jem, you make a turtle stick its head out by lighting a match underneath it. Dill reacts to this by calling it "hateful" and worrying that it will hurt the turtle. Already, we might be falling in love with Dill and his decency.
