The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

An analogy is a comparison, a presentation of the similarities between two elements, where one is used as an example to represent the other. An example of an analogy is the phrase "The president made analogies to marriage, to show the importance of the family in the social environment."

In this case, to answer your question, you will need to read all the text it refers to and identify sentences where Abigail makes comparisons between two elements, using them as examples of each other.
