Are these similes, metaphors, personifications, alliterations, onomatopoeias, or hyperboles?
1. Larry learned a lot at the lecture.
2. My teacher is a walking encyclopedia.
Please give an explanation. :)
Thank you!!!
1. alliteration This is because the majority of the words in the sentence begin with the letter L.
2. metaphor This is because the sentence does not liken the teacher to a encyclopedia using like or as, like a simile does. The statement is not an extreme exaggeration, which would be a hyperbole. It's absolutely not a onomatopoeia because it doesn't mimic the sound of the object it's likened to. It has to be a metaphor.
