Answer from: dkline89

"The sun peered at the ravens from behind the cloud." - Personification

"The flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds." - Simile

"Snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear." - Metaphor

Explanation:

Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things, using the words "like" or "as."

A metaphor also compares two things, however metaphors say something is something else, not using the words "like" or "as."

Answer from: vane6176

personification, simile, metaphor

Explanation:

"the sun peered at the ravens from behind the clouds" is personification. personification is when something non-human is given human qualities. "peered" is a verb, and it means to look at someone or something, often searchingly or with difficulty. the sun is not a living human being, therefore writing that the sun "peered" is giving a human behavior or quality to a non-human object."the flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds" is a simile. a simile is a type of figurative language that compares something using the word "like" or "as" (and in this example, the word "like" is used.)"snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear" is a metaphor. a metaphor is a comparison, as is a simile, but a metaphor DOES NOT use "like" or "as." instead, it draws a direct comparison. in this sentence, snow is being compared to a "great eraser." notice how there is no "like" or "as" within the comparison, because the snow is directly being compared with an eraser.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
