He described Americans from various social classes and professions in order to develop his ideas of democracy and equality.
His poem, Song of Myself, celebrates his own being, as well as other people's. He wanted to include as many social classes as possible so as to show how people are equal no matter which social class they belong to, or job they have - they are all people, and by extension, equal.

Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u><em>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</em></u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<em><u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u></em>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u><em>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</em></u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u><em>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</em></u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<em><u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u></em>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u><em>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".</em></u>

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.  

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as". </u>
