A simile, on the other hand, is a direct comparison.

Besides the fact that Hurston grew up in Eatonville, why reasons do you think she might have had to use the town as the setting for her novel their eyes were watching god
She used this city as the setting for her novel because it was the first all-black city in the US.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Hurston's novel has a strong bias about what it is to be black within the racist society in which we live.For that reason, using the city of Eatonville as the setting in her novel was so important.Eatonville was the first completely black city in the US, where it provided a safe environment for black people.However, racism, prejudice, and intolerance established themselves in the city in other ways.Houston grew up in this city and knew well what it represented and provoked. For this reason, and because of the importance of the city's history, she decided to use it as a setting.
