Rick Riordan uses figurative language in the story by putting in a simile. He compared the way Grover was staring at Percy to a TV program. In the book it says,"And he was staring right at me, like I was a TV program he'd been waiting for" (72). This shows that Grover was expecting Percy and that he eagerly wanted to speak to Percy.
