Answer 3

Okay, this should help:

metaphor - a resemblance of two contradictory or different objects is made based on a single or some common characteristics.
Ex. Aaliyah was a cheetah, sprinting on the track.

hyperbole - exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
Ex. My grandmother is as old as the hills. or Your suitcase weighs a ton!

personification - giving human qualities to a non-living object
Ex. The wind howled and screamed.

simile - comparing two different objects using like or as, kind of like a metaphor, but a metaphor does not use like or as.
Ex. Aaliyah was running as fast as a cheetah

Answer 4

So using these definitions, you should be able to see what literary device each phrase uses. I'll stay on this question, but I'm going to be occasionally afk, so I'm sorry if I take long to reply.
