PLEASE HELP WHOEVER ANSWERS ALL GETS BRAINLIESTS METAPHOR, SIMILE, AND PERSONIFICATION
Figurative language is language that is not meant to be taken literally. Authors use figurative language to paint an interesting picture for readers.
A simile compares two things using the words like or as. (He ran like an old greyhound. She was as quiet as a deer.)
A metaphor compares two unlike things by saying one thing is another. (The dinner was a three-ring circus.)
In personification, a nonhuman subject is described with human characteristics. (The stars were dancing on tiptoes.)
DIRECTIONS: Read the sentences below. Then, write which kind of figurative language appears in the sentence.
EXAMPLE:
As I read a book beneath the tree, the leaves whispered kind words overhead.
This is a personification because leaves cannot actually whisper - they don’t have vocal cords.
The tree was a skeleton against the starry sky.

Her eyes are as green as emeralds.

The school of fish was a shimmering rainbow.

The door groaned when I opened it.

Go beyond literal meanings with figurative language. ... They are: metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism. ... (simile); I move fast like a cheetah on the Serengeti. ... Simile. A simile also compares two things. However, similes use the words "like" or "as." ... They add a level of fun and reality to writing... Hope this helps!

Explanation:

1. Simile  2. Metaphor  3. Personification

Explanation:

1. Because the eyes get compared to emeralds, using like or as.

2. The school of fish gets compared to a shimmering rainbow without using like or as.

3. The door isn't actually groaning, and the sentence uses human characteristics using a non-human thing.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war
