Hi there :wavey:
I've moved your thread to the English study help forum where hopefully you'll get more answers :smile: In future, it's best to select the subject from the list here and create a thread in there instead :yep: If you want to see where threads belong, check out this thread :smile:

4.2: Adjective 'red'. Simile 'as red as a summer sunset'.

4.3: Personification of the toast.

4.5: Repetition of the letter 'f' represents the violently blowing wind.

4.7: Personification of the storm, it 'grumbled'.

4.8: Juxtaposition/oxymoron 'silence' and 'deafened' (Not too sure about this one)
