I've never watched harry potter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, we know for sure it's not foreshadowing. because it's not talking about what's going to happen in the future.

OpenStudy (samara8954):

correct

OpenStudy (samara8954):

foreshadowing defitenetly not it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it's not an idiom

OpenStudy (samara8954):

MAYBE ALLUSION OR PERSONIFICATION

THE THING WILL EXPIRE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it's personification. Sorry I took a little while to respond. I'm helping someone too. ^^'

OpenStudy (samara8954):

IT WAS ALLUSION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I can see I made a mistake there. I looked closely into the Allusion definition and it says:a figure of speech that makes a reference to a place, person, or something that happened. This can be real or imaginary and may refer to anything, including paintings, opera, folk lore, mythical figures, or religious manuscripts. The reference can be direct or may be inferred, and can broaden the reader’s understanding.
