It's not a personification, those are not living things that are given personalities. 
A metaphor is a<span> figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. So there is no action being applied to the stars, so its not a metaphor.
</span><span><span>Simile: a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind</span>: no....
</span><span>Symbol: a thing that represents or stands for something else: Yes!

Your answer is Symbol, hope this helps!

it's actually NOT symbol

i would say it's either metaphor or personification. personally, try personification because it is a TYPE of METAPHOR in which NONLIVING or NONHUMAN things are given HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS OR ABILITIES.

stars, love, brotherhood?

a metaphor is a comparison of two unlike things that does not use comparison words, one thing directly represents another

honestly up to you, it could be either but i'm leaning more to personification...

Every student chooses a group that they belong to (sports team, music group,
shepuryov [24]

I swim for a club. I belong to this group because I have incorporated myself into its society. There is a 'hierarchy' that is based off of which group you are in (and those groups are based off of how good you are), and I am somewhere in the middle. In the swim team, you have to be a good sport, not cheat, and not bully anyone else. My role is the same as everyone else's: a competitor, and a friend. We respect eachother, while pushing ourselves furthur when we compete against eachother. We all have to try are hardest and do our best in every practice and competition. We have to keep our pool clean, and we have to respect the premises. The swim team is a major part in my life, as I have been swimming for 6 years. When I feel really angry, or stressed, putting all my effort into swimming helps. Swimming is an 'anchor' in my life, and the adrenaline rush I get while swimming is something I focus on when I feel really out of place.
