Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

The literary device being used in the sentence in personification because its saying "the roar of crickets" giving it an effect of so called "roaring" which crickets dont do.


Another definition of personification is "The flood raged over the entire village." as raging is more of a human feature but, if its not right let me know the rest of the sentence
