Giant and grey- Visual Imagery
He rolls on the beach all day.- Personification
Explanation:
Figures of speech are rhetorical devices that add to the beauty and richness of literature.
Metaphor is a very important figure of speech. It draws an implicit comparison and helps create a distinct image.
In the sentence, 'The sea is a hungry dog, ' the sea is being compared to a hungry dog. 'Hungry dog' is the metaphor that draws the picture of a voracious animal.
Imagery is the use of vivid descriptions to draw an image either through a visual or a sound, smell, touch or movement.
In the line, ' Giant and grey' , a visual image is drawn that builds a picture of something huge and grim.
Personification is a figure of speech that attributes human traits to non human objects.
In the line, 'He rolls on the beach all day', the sea is being personified to a man who rolls on the beach all day.
