For each of the following, identify what figure of speech, if any, is being used. In several cases, it might be argued that more than one exists. In those cases, you will identify only the primary figure.My brother has grown a great deal in the last year. He is almost as tall as I am now.I think this is a metaphor.Death, be not proud, though some have calléd thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; --John DonneI think this is personification. Thanks!
Wrtieacher, that was what I was thinking. Lana, what's the reason you think so?

If you were comparing two different things, it would be a simile. As tall as the building, he seems to be. She is a lark and sings. I don't believe that sentence has a figure of speech in it.

Do you think it is an example of a simile? I said a metaphor because it said he is, even though it also said that he was, but I thought it focused more on what he was. Is it possible that it didn't have a figure of speech?
