"the sky is a snotty handkerchief" is an example of:
a. personification
b. alliteration
c. simile
d. metaphor

D. Metaphor

- Personification is when you give a non-human object human qualities, for example, "fire as a dancer"
- Alliteration is a phrase where the words start with the same sound, for example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"
- A simile uses "as" or "like" to link two things together, for example, "as strong as a boar", or, "sneaky like a snake"
- And a metaphor is very similar to a simile, except instead of linking and comparing with "as" or "like", the metaphor says that something is something else, for example, "she has button eyes" or "he was a demon on the race track"

It makes me feel sad that our country has to fight these wars.
