The writer has used animal imagery to suggest that Fletcher behaves more like an animal than a human. We get a clear picture of the mess that surrounds him, and of his unkempt appearance.
The personification of the screen symbolises the power that it has over him. It watches but does not aid him in any way. There is an implication that it is waiting for him to start writing.
This simile suggests that he is not wholly human. It shows the speed at which inspiration hits him, and suggests that he reacts to things spontaneously.
