I need answers quick, so please help me.
Here are the sentances; Please tell me if any of them are Metaphors
For my dowry I began to embroider a quilt, making all of my worries stitches.
I heard mom and dad talking together so late in the night that the moon slid up and down in the sky.
They were solid sliver, and so heavy that when I tried them on, I was afraid my ears would stretch to the size of an elephants.

The first one is a metaphor. It is a recognizable comparison between two objects, ie. worries and stitches, dowry and quilt.
The second one isn't, since nothing is actually getting compared, even indirectly.
The last one is not a metaphor, even though there is a comparison. This is because objects/actions are not getting compared, but adjectives(normal size-elephant's size).

The first one is a metaphor. A metaphor is when you say something IS something else. When you use the word "like" then you have a simile.

incorrect An occasion of a metaphor is "The sky became like your blue eyes" it quite is a simile, by way of fact it makes use of the be conscious "like" Your sentence, "Ian thinks Ann is a p.c.. rat" IS a metaphor by way of fact it compares Ann to a packrat, with out using "like" or "as"
