Simile

Answer 2

Answer:

The literary device employed in the lines is a simile.

Explanation:

Some literary devices are:

• Simile- They are comparisons of one thing or person to another to exaggerate a particular quality by using “like” or “as”
• Personification- When inanimate objects are given human-like attributes; for example "the clouds wept at the loss of mankind"
• Metaphor- They are comparisons of one person or thing to another to exaggerate a particular quality by directly co-relating them; for example "she was a walking television"
• Alliteration- The repetition of a sound at the beginning of words; for example "creepy-crawly creatures"

Employing literary devices in literature adds to the richness of the work.
