Showing not Telling

As we continue with Term 2 we have been learning more about personification, here is William Adlam's (Head Boy) personification.

The tarmac shivers with fear

Nerves begin to boil like a jug

The petrol fumes lure me to my seat

The engine roared like a tornado

The tires heat up like a oven

The lights go out like a flash of lightning

The crowd roars like a tiger

Can you guess what he is showing not telling?
