1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.
2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!
- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.

Answer:
Imagery
Explanation:
One of the techniques that Irving is using in this text is that of imagery. Imagery refers to a type of language that is used by poets or other authors. It includes figurative language that uses creative ways to describe a thing, place or situation. It also employs devices such as metaphors and similes. In this case, Irving is using imagery when describing the expression the person had, the pain he felt and the horror he inspired.
