A simile is a comparison between to things using like or as. In the detail about the river from "Boy Flying" the river is being compared to a silver track left by a snail. The word like indicates the comparison between the two things.
A hyperbole is an over exaggeration, such as my homework will take forever. A metaphor is a comparison between two things without using like or as such as my pillow is a cloud. Personification is giving nonhuman things human like traits such as the trees danced in the wind.
