Answer:
Tarshis was very generous in his use of metaphors and personification to describe the tornado and its activities.
<em></em>
Explanation:
For example, Tarshis in one of the sentences states that the tornado was a <em>ferocious and deadly monster. </em>
In another sentence, the tornado is also described as having chewed trees and scattered branches:
<em>"it was powerful enough to chew apart trees and scatter branches."</em>
To describe something figuratively means to use a literary device such as a metaphor, idiom or irony to express, portray or qualify such a thing, person, or activity rather than using the literal form of it.
A metaphor is a device in the literature that enhances the description of a thing by comparing it to another that is very unrelated. For example, Bisi has an <em>Iron First.</em>
In the text, <em>ferocious and deadly monster </em>can be said to be metaphorical. Monsters are living things and can be ferocious.
<em />
<em>Personification</em> on the other hand is when attributes of a human are attributed to a non-living thing or an animal.
Humans are able to chew. Humans are able to scatter. So the sentence
<em>"it was powerful enough to chew apart trees and scatter branches." </em>contains the device of personification.
