Question: Which kind of figurative language is used here? Every time he touches his guitar, it sings!
Answer: The figurative language used is: <u>Personification. </u>
Explanation: Personification is when qualities or abilities that only a human can have, are given to an animal or object. Writers use this to bring non-human things to life. In the sentence: ''Every time he touches his guitar, it sings!'', we can identify personification when we read ''his guitar, it sings!'', because a guitar can't really sing and this object is being given a human ability.

People who have had a traumatic childhood usually develop a mental defence which protects them emotionally from these traumas. This act of defence can be continued into later life even when it is not needed and this is why some people can react badly to being in romantic relationships.
"People maintain the defensive posture that they formed early in life."
