Answer 1

Answer: 1. Zoomorphism, 2. Anthropomorphism

Explanation:

Both sentences are similes, phrases that compare a concept to something similar, but each one compares the object differently.

1. Zoomorphism is the literary device where the author gives animal-like qualities to a human being, in this case, comparing the action of the man to what a bird of prey would do from a high perch.

2. Anthropomorphism is the literary device that attributes human qualities to an animal, plant, or object, in this case, comparing how shriveled the plants were to the people's misery.
