      1.  Alliteration- Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds right next to each other which creates a melodious effect. Example- “Clouds come hurrying with the wind” (Line 2).
      2. Simile- When two dissimilar things are compared using ‘like’ or ‘as’, the goal is to give the reader a better visual understanding. Example- “Like a plague of locusts” (line 6).
      3. Personification- Personification is assigning human attributes to nonhuman things. “Clouds come hurrying with the wind.” (line 2). The clouds are said to be ‘hurrying’.
