The poetic device this sentence is using is metaphor.
Metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech which you use when you want to compare two or more things, without using words such as like or as. So, her irritation wasn't really an anthill overflowing with ants, but rather similar to it, but the author wanted to use a symbolic way to portray this comparison.

Write an informal letter to a friend who lives in another town about environmental disaster​
Leni [432]

Answer and Explanation:

Dear Trevor:

<em />

<em>Hello again my dear friend, I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since we last spoke and you might be wondering why.</em>

<em>As many people know by now thanks to social media, </em><em>there was a terrible and disastrous fire in the Chipinque forest last week.</em><em> It caused important losses of old and valuable trees which have survived for over 100 years. Also, many species of wildlife were killed, while others suffered numerous injuries.</em>

<em>As much as I am grateful for not being harmed in this fire, I am deeply sad about this situation and I'm certain you will be too due to your profound appreciation for this town, which will always be your first and most-loved town. The main reason of this letter is to let you know we are all safe. However, I wanted to please ask you to be careful because, as you already know, the current high temperatures are able to cause many similar disasters and horrible losses, no matter where we are.</em>

<em>I truly hope I can visit your town soon to catch up and tell you more about this unfortunate event.</em>

Love,

Sophia
