Answer:
A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal way to create an effect. ... For example, Margaret Atwood utilizes figures of speech in her poem “you fit into me” as a means of achieving poetic meaning and creating a vivid picture for the reader.
Answer:
1. apostrophe
2. personification
Explanation:
1. An apostrophe is a direct address to the dead, to the absent, or to a
personified object or idea. Here, "friend" is dead so the figure of speech
used in this sentence is apostrophe
2. personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human
characteristics to something non-human. Here "tulips" is non-human but
possess human attributes "nodded" so the figure of speech
used in this sentence is personification
