<em>Metaphor, personification.

<u><em>EXPLANATION:
</em></u>
<em>
</em>
<em>The poem cherry tree is about the cherry tree which the poet wants to plant. He sow the seeds and seeds grow into a sapling and then in to a plant. It took eight years for the plant to produce cherry after so much struggle like extreme cold conditions, goat eating leaves of the tree, fungus of the plant etc.,

<em>Metaphor is a figure of speech in which the poet compares two things but cannot be taken literally. Example:’ Ripened and jewelled in the sun’ he tells that the berry is like a jewel in the sunlight which shows us that he admires the fruit but not ‘it looks like a jewel’.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Personification means the author's way of behaviour the plant or any non living thing in comparison with a human being. Example: The flower danced in the cool breeze. In this poem it says about the cherry tree. ‘Its arms in a fresh fierce lust’.</em>
Answer: I don't know of the book you read, but..
Authors use historical times and revise them in such a way it's believable, immersive, and informative. They make sure their use of history isn't changed into an outlandish fashion to fit the time it's set in. They usually do this because you can't go back in history and show them what happened, so you must create a fictional yet historical piece to preserve the time.
