Question

Which literary device has been used in the underlined line?

Answer 1

This is definitely Personification because it is making the sun do something only a human could do.

Answer 2

Defenitions:

similee: compareing 2 things with the word 'like' or 'as'
   example: 'graceful as the wind'

imagery: using an image to convey an idea

personification: treating a non-person as a person way (sorry confusing)
   example: 'the sun walked across the ocean'

synecdoche: the part stands for the whole
    example: 'his hand will save us'

hyperbole: exageration
   example: 'he ate two train worth of food'



so


sun slumbers in ocean's arms
1. sun doesn't sleep, because is isn't alive
2. ocean doesn't have arms, people have arms

this is personification
