Simile vs. Metaphor
Both are comparisons, but
A simile compares two unlike things using the word "like" or "as"
A metaphor does not use the word "like" or "as."

Personification
Giving human characteristics to something that is not human.
So...What is the effect of the use of personification in "the wind whispered through the trees" versus "the shrieking wind tore through the trees"?

Literal: the actual meaning of the word. (ex: there was a breeze)
Figurative: phrasing that goes beyond the literal meaning of words to get a message or point across.
