anonymous · Answer

What is the literary device for this:

The roaring of the tempest ...?

anonymous · Answer

Or....

The shrieking of the wind?

lifeisadangerousgame · Answer

Personification. Giving human actions to things that aren't human I believe that's it

anonymous · Answer

For the first or second one?

lifeisadangerousgame · Answer

For both, wind can't shriek, only humans can do that..and a tempest is a storm, also not a human so it can't roar

anonymous · Answer

Thanks... What about: We know him who is the key?

lifeisadangerousgame · Answer

Hmm, no sorry, I don't understand that one :/

anonymous · Answer

Mmkay.. It's fine! :)
What about: Have the scattered flock been torn?
Dark the desert paths and dreary?
And one i saw with sword and shield?
The battle is not long?
Rome seized the scepter?
We know him who is the key?

we know him who is the key is using key as a symbol. so it's either a metonymy or metaphor. i think i'd rather go with emtaphor rather than metonymy
