HELP!! HELP!! HELP!!! PLEAAAASE?

There is a quote from the book "Once And Future King":

"You honk like a goose." (book 1, page 177)

It was funny because Arthur had just returned home after being turned into a goose by Merlyn, then Kay (Arthur's brother) says that Arthur was snoring like a goose all night. So, other than a similie, is this an example of any other type of FIGURATIVE DEVICE? If it is, can you explain why it is?

Thank you sooo much!!! In Advance!!!! xoxo

Update:

EASY 10 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMMEDIATELY!!!!

    No, it is merely a simile. It is also a hyperbole, meaning an exaggeration. It also has the non-figurative characteristic of being self-referential, meaning the comment refers directly to the text without and outside reference.

    have you ever rfile a question or an answer ? definite in that case, what proportion ? i've got been at here for two years. I have not any theory what proportion. what proportion have been made by skill of trolls ? all of them. We had a rash of cloning for a collectively as. I wasn't between the various who have been focused yet I helped people who have been focused by skill of reporting the clones. It did no longer count to me in spite of the fact that if i for my area loved the guy being cloned. i've got confidence undesirable for all and sundry who has somebody applying their call and photograph. That became the only time i've got afflicted with the rfile thingy. Do you be apologetic approximately reporting any ? No. in that case, what proportion ? N/A what's your theory / loss of theory ? I persist with a Celtic Reconstructionist course (neo-pagan).

    It might be a form of anthropomorphic personification used as part of a pun (using a human term to describe something not human in a humorous manner). That's all I can think of.
