Final answer:

Similes use 'like' or 'as' to compare, metaphors directly compare, personification gives human qualities, alliteration uses repeated consonant sounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simile is a comparison using the words 'like' or 'as', while a metaphor is a direct comparison stating that one thing is another. Two examples of a simile are 'Her smile is like sunshine' and 'He runs as fast as a cheetah'. Two examples of a metaphor are 'Time is a thief' and 'She is an angel'. Personification is giving human qualities to non-human things. Two examples of personification are 'The flowers danced in the breeze' and 'The moon smiled down at us'. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. Two examples of alliteration are 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers' and 'Sally sells seashells by the seashore'.
