Question

What type of literary device is Ballou using in the underlined portion of this paragraph? suspicious that Death is creeping behind me with his fatal dart

A. Hyperbole
B. Personification
C. Metaphor
D. Simile

Answer 1

Hi! The answer would be B. Personification.

Death is not a person, referring it as “his” and having it display a human action (creeping behind one another) is further proof that this is personification.

I hope this is helpful to you!
