Simile is not used.

Explanation:

The alliteration is used since the letter/sound of R is frequently repeated.


The metaphor is used since it’s saying Ron the Rabbit IS a rocket. It compares the two WITHOUT using like/as.

Lastly, personification is used because the rabbit is given human characteristics, like it’s name (Ron).

A similar is not used because a similar compares things using like or as, that does not happen here.
