Answer 1

Repetition (R), Simile (S), Metaphor (M), Personification (P), and A (Alliteration)

You got down personification with, "My only friend is the couch and it has no smile," because you gave this object human-like qualities.

"Living in this poor neighborhood is like watching paint dry" is the first of a few similes I find. You are comparing two things using the word "like" (or "as".)
This line, "Everything we own it either smells or looks as if it is going to die / Just like rotten food," is also technically a simile because you're comparing the things you own rotting just like food using the word "like."
Here, "We stick out as though we're in a spotlight" as well, because you use the word "as."

I guess you could technically argue the first two lines, "My family and I live in Chicago / My family is poor and leaves me to work all day," are examples of repetition, but it'd be better if it was done more often.

I don't really find any examples of alliteration or metaphors.

If you're confused about either of those, alliteration would be something like "My family's financial fight finds us frugal." It's having a lot of words start with the same sound. For some reason, people thinks that sounds good.

Metaphor can be tricky. It's like similes, but instead of saying "this thing is like this other thing," you say "this thing IS this other thing."
Instead of, "my life is like living in hell," you'd say, "my life IS hell." You're making a statement comparing things that aren't actually alike but have something in common. It helps give the reader a feeling to identify with or even can act as a sensory (visual, auditory, etc.) aid.
