Answer:

<em>"Around me everything was dancing a dance of death" </em>is a "personification" when it comes to<em> figurative language</em>. It means that people around Elie Wiesel were dying and nobody paid attention nor cared.

Explanation:

The situation above happened during "Night 84."

At this time, Elie was exhausted from marching in the snow that<em> he fell asleep for a long time</em> when they were finally told to rest. He was only awakened when <u>his father's frozen fingers patted on his cheeks.</u> His father wanted him to wake up because they were to march again.<em> Sleeping would mean dying in the snow. </em>Thus, Elie described the situation happening around him with the figurative language above. It is a personification because it gives human being personality to "death" that it can dance <em>("dance of death").</em>
