Answer 1

Answer:

30. personification - The trees are given the human ability to cry aloud, which creates a vivid image of the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.

31. simile - The mouse is compared to death using the word "as," which creates a comparison between two unlike things.

32. metaphor - Life is compared to a broken-winged bird, which creates a striking image of something that is struggling and unable to fly.

33. onomatopoeia - "Chirp" and "tweet" are examples of onomatopoeia, which use words that imitate the sound they describe.

34. alliteration - The repeated "f" sound in "flickering, flitting, fireflies" is an example of alliteration, which is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of words.

35. rhyme - "Light" and "night" rhyme with each other, which creates a pleasing sound and helps to emphasize the contrast between the two words.

36. rhyme scheme - The rhyme scheme of the sentence is AABB, meaning that the first and second lines rhyme with each other, as do the third and fourth lines.
