Answer:
1. He looked solid like an oar, whereas Jesse...well, he was like water, thin and quick." Simile
2. "The first week of August was reasserting itself after a good night's sleep." Personification
3. "A dragonfly, a brilliant blue jewel, darted up and paused over the lily pads, then swung up and away." Metaphor
4. "Now, remembering the visits of the night before, she smiled-and found that she loved them, this most peculiar family." Not figurative language
5. "I wanted to, heaven knows. But Winnie, how'd it have been if I had?" Idiom
Explanation:
Figurative languages are words used in ways that do not portray their regular meaning in order to make sentences clearer and more meaningful to the reader.
- Simile is the direct comparison of objects that are completely different but have similarities. In the first sentence, the pronoun, "He" was directly compared to an oar.
- Personification is the assignment of the attributes of non-living things to living things. The month of August was presented as a person that could reassert itself and also have a good night rest.
- A metaphor is the indirect comparison of objects. In the third sentence, the dragonfly was indirectly compared to a brilliant blue jewel.
- An idiom is a word whose meaning cannot be deduced from its regular usage. The idiom "heaven knows," symbolizes the truthfulness of what the speaker was saying.
