Question

When it comes, the landscape listens, Shadows hold their breath Which technique does this excerpt use? allusion personification simile hyperbole

Answer 1

The author says that landscape "listens" and shadows "hold their breath", both of which are pretending that landscape and shadows hold human like properties, therefore the answer is personification.

Answer 2

The answer is personification

Why?:

Personification- when a thing or an animal acts like humans
In this case landscape "listens", they don' t listen and then Shadows "holds" their breath, Shadows can't HOLD THEIR BREATH!!

I hope this helps!
