Lelechka [254]

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
