Question

"The house crackled and roared like a giant's funeral pyre.” What kind of

figurative language is this?

Btw is the night gardener story

Answer 1

The author is using a simile to compare the house to a giants funeral pyre using “like”, it’s also using personification when it says the house “crackled and roared” as its giving living characteristics to an inatinate object.

Hope this helped :)
