Answer:

1. Onomatopoeia → The egg cracked open on the edge of the forest green dish, and the contents <u><em>sizzled</em></u> when they hit the red-hot pan.

2. Alliteration → George wanted to show Bonnie how much he loved her with breakfast in bed on her birthday.

3. Simile → He slid the spatula under the pancake on the other burner and flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

4. Personification → Shortly after, the bagel jumped up out of the toaster,...

5. Oxymoron → The sweet bitter cranberry juice poured into a glass was final touch.,

6. Metaphor →  George was no chef, but he thought it looked awfully good.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is known to be the formation of a word by using a sound that is associated with what it is named. e.g sizzled

Alliteration is the use of the same letter to begin words in a sentence. In this paragraph, we see alliteration used in: Bonnie...breakfast...bed...birthday

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things using <em>as</em> or <em>like. </em><em>e.g:</em><em> ...</em>flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

Metaphor is a figure of speech which compares two things in an indirect way without the use of <em>as</em> or<em> like</em>. e.g: George was no chef,...

3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.

Explanation:

The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.
