Answer:

personification

Explanation:

Personification is one of the types of figurative language. It is used when an innate object or non-human object is treated as a human being. In the given excerpt from the poem “The First Snowfall” written by James Russell Lowell, the figurative language used is personification. The  "pine and fir and hemlock" are said to wear 'ermine'. These are the names of the trees who are personified as human beings. Hence, this is an example of personification.

Write a story on the day i had a chance to act
PtichkaEL [24]
I have a brief story to tell of a day which I always remember and cherish during which I found out something very important about myself and my values in life. It happened when I was coming home from high school on my fisherman friends boat (we had to take a bus, then take a boat and then walk to get home). I was also a fisherman's son who also had worked on the fishing boat of my dad. But whereas my friend was in the general non-university program, I was in the university entrance program so I had aspirations for higher education. As we approached the float of my friend's house, I put down my briefcase with all my homework and jumped down onto the float with a line to help tie it up. Then when I looked up, my friend handed me my briefcase. This felt so good, that I was not forgetting my humble background and not acting superior but being what I was- a fisherman's son basically and primarily and secondarily a potential university student and that my friend appreciated my action.
