Question

Each quotation below contains a figure of speech. Type the exact words that make up the figure. Then type s for simile, m for metaphor, or p for personification.

1..". . . motionless as a cloud the . . . man stood . . ."

2.. ". . . to run over better waters the little vessel of my genius hoists its sails."

Answer 1

I'd say the first one is a simile.
And the second is personification.

Answer 2

Simile is correct as it compares the motion of a cloud to a man.

Personification is correct as it gives the "little vessel" the human characteristic "running" or "to run."

Descriptions:

Simile:
a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ).

Metaphor:
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object.

Personification:
the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.
