Which figure of speech is used in the following excerpt from the play As You Like It by William Shakespeare? And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. personification onomatopoeia simile metaphor @uri
the first one is personification. Personification is giving no-living things human characteristics. In the second one a similie is used. A similie is when you make a comparison by using like or as.
I agree with Will679.....1. personification : 2. simile
1) Onomatopoeia because it's a sounding device. "It crackled and howled" from Rime of an Ancient Mariner. 2)Like implies similie.
