Which figure of speech does Thoreau use to show how loud the bird was in the sentence: "The Pickleerels crow on the trees, clear and piercing for miles over the resounding earth! It would put nations on the alert."? (5 points)

a
Personification

b
Metaphor

c
Simile

d
Hyperbole

Shadow · Answer

Personification is giving a non human entity, human elements.
-The tree hugged the stone

Metaphor is referring to something indirectly.
-The man rose at dawn, rays shinning from his bodice (referring to the sun).

Simile is referring to something directly, using like/as
-The dog is like his owner

Hyperbole is basically an exaggeration
-I love you to the ends of the universe and beyond
