Answer:

Figure of speech:

a word or phrase used in a non-literal sense for rhetorical or vivid effect.

Explanation:

Figures of speech from the book 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

• Personification  - "His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd."
• Metaphor   - "Having never heard her call Atticus “brother” before, I stole a glance at Jem, but he was not listening."  
• Simile  - "It's just as much Maycomb County as missionary teas."
• Harper Lee’s use of imagery helps us see the town and feel as though we’re right there in the courtroom when Tom is convicted. We feel Scout’s frustration when Aunt Alexandra tries to force her to be more ladylike. Lee gives us language that we can grab on to, language that forces us to think.
• Metaphor - ”Your name’s longer’n you are. Bet it’s a foot longer.”
