Answer:
Personification
Explanation:
The gun “bucking” is personification, as it does not have the same first letter as other words in the phrase (alliteration) and it does not use like or as (simile), nor is it a figure of speech. The fire “licking” from the end of the gun is also personification.

This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A.

C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
