Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.

Someone help me please 1.) Auntie Sonya wore a blank expression a.) hungry b.) friendly c.)quarrelsome d.)sorrowing 2.) uncle sh

zlopas [31]

1) Auntie Sonya wore a d.)sorrowing expression. She was a lady who thought that life can't be good when people reach her age. The description by Iskander nicely emphasizes the mood that his character brings into story: ''She was a middle-aged woman with short hair and a look of permanent sorrow frozen on her face.''. Throughout the whole story she always seems unhappy.

2) Uncle Shura calls the narrator a monk. He called him so because unlike his sister he follows the principles of the religion that their parents belong to. Uncle Shura said that in humoristic way, but the narrator become very offended primarily because his world of faith was destroyed in a second when his sister ate the pork.

3) The narrator's brother once jumped out a window. When he heard someone's knock at the door he realised that it is his teacher came to complain for his bad behaviour in school. When parents opened the door, the boy had already jumped out of the window in order to avoid punishment.

4) The narrator thought he deserved the notebook more than his brother or sister. He became a little sad because at that time it was hard to get notebooks and he thought that kids have to deserve it. Since he was an excellent pupic he thought that all the 9 notebooks should belong to him, not to his sinful sister or his scampish brother.

5) Treachery is compared to a caterpillar. When the narrator sums up all his thoughts and actions he admits that even though his sister left her principles, he was the only person that parents must blame on. And in the very last sentence he compares betrayal to a caterpillar : 'and that out of a small cocoon of petty envy, an ugly moth of betrayal can grow.'
