★Metaphor
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.
examples:-
1) Love is a battlefield.
2)All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances.
Explanation:
metaphor
A metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe something as if it was something else. A metaphor isn’t a comparison – that’s a simile, where you say one thing is ‘like’ another (“Her eyes were like diamonds”). Instead, a metaphor is simply a statement where you are saying that one thing is another.
Take a look at the example of a metaphor in the speech bubble above. The man is saying “Life is a roller-coaster”. Think about what he means by this sentence – does he mean that his life is actually a real-life roller-coaster? Or is he describing it that way because he means his life has ups and down, similar to a roller-coaster?
Example Metaphors
The great thing about metaphors is that their possibilities are endless! You can describe absolutely anything using a metaphor – including objects, people, places, animals and things.
Personification
Personification is a figure of speech where non-living objects are described to seem like people.
In the arts, personification means representing a non-human thing as if it were human. Personification gives human traits and qualities, such as emotions, desires, sensations, gestures and speech, often by way of a metaphor.
Personification is much used in visual arts. Examples in writing are "the leaves waved in the wind", "the ocean heaved a sigh" or "the Sun smiled at us". In easy language personification is just giving an example of a living being for a non-living thing. "The wind shouted". Obviously the wind cannot shout. This is what is called personification.
Another commonly used personification is found in stories where animals and legendary creatures are attributed labels for recognition. This is called anthropomorphism.
