Answer:

Below are sentences with literary elements in the above passage:

1. "The dog is big, like a man dressed in a dog suit and runs the same way its owner does, clumsy and wild with limbs flopping all over the place like untied shoes." - Literary element: Simile

2. Out front there are twenty-one steps, all lopsided and jutting like crooked teeth (made that way on purpose, Cathy said, so the rain will slide off). - Literary element: Simile

3. "But what you remember most is this tree, huge, with fat arms and mighty families of squirrels in the higher branches." - Literary element: Personification

4. "Down at the base of the tree, the dog with two names barks into the empty air, and there at the end of block, looking smaller still, our house with its feet tucked under like a cat"

'...our house with its feet tucked under like a cat" - Literary element: Personification

"...our house with its feet tucked under like a cat" - Literary element: Simile

Step-by-step explanation:

Simile is a figure of speech which compares two things together and usually the words "as" and "like" in comparing.

Personification is the attribution of human traits to animate or inanimate objects.
