Similes, Metaphors, and Personification By Tyler Russano A cloudy winter day: Simile- The clouds covered up the sun like a blanket covering up a sleeping hobo. Personification- the depressed clouds sucked the light out of the world as they covered the sun, bringing on the cold winter day. Metaphor- There was a blanket of clouds hanging in the sky A windy night in October: Personification- The wind carried the scent of candy on this Halloween night.
