Is this the excerpt you are referring to?

<span>In a smithy

one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze 
plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam- 
the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: 
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
</span>
If so, the use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is.

Michael Herr commented on the performance of `grunts' when they knew that there was a camera crew nearby and how they imitated the stars of war movies. So powerful were cinematic images of battle that soldiers acted as though they were on the screen according to Herr.
