- Personification is the assignment of the attributes of non-living things to living things. The month of August was presented as a person that could reassert itself and also have a good night rest.
- A metaphor is the indirect comparison of objects. In the third sentence, the dragonfly was indirectly compared to a brilliant blue jewel.
