Explanation:

• Metaphor is a speech concept that contrasts indirectly, implicitly or hiddenly two objects which are unrelated but have some common properties. In other words, two opposing or different objects have a resemblance based on one or more common feature. (example: His voice is music to her ears, Her dance is a great poem)
• Personification is a figure of speech wherein an idea or a thing or an animal is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the capability to act like humans. (example: The wind whispered through the dry grass.)
• A simile is a speech figure which compares two different things and shows similarities. Contrary to a metaphor, a similar draws resemblance by means of the words "like" or "as."  (example: The glow of the tube-light is as bright as the sunshine)
• Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to an historically, culturally, literarily and politically important person, place, thing or thought. The person or thing to which he refers does not describe in detail. It is only a passing comment and the author expects the reader to have enough information to identify the allusion and appreciate its significance in a text (example: The rise in paucity will unlock the Pandora’s box of crimes )
• Paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory or naive, but may contain latent truth. It also illustrates an opinion or declaration contrary to traditional ideas. A paradox is often used to get a reader to think innovatively about an idea . (example: I can resist anything but temptation)
