"The sun peered at the ravens from behind the cloud." - Personification

"The flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds." - Simile

"Snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear." - Metaphor

Explanation:

Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things, using the words "like" or "as."

A metaphor also compares two things, however metaphors say something is something else, not using the words "like" or "as."

Answer from: vane6176

personification, simile, metaphor

Explanation:

"the sun peered at the ravens from behind the clouds" is personification. personification is when something non-human is given human qualities. "peered" is a verb, and it means to look at someone or something, often searchingly or with difficulty. the sun is not a living human being, therefore writing that the sun "peered" is giving a human behavior or quality to a non-human object."the flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds" is a simile. a simile is a type of figurative language that compares something using the word "like" or "as" (and in this example, the word "like" is used.)"snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear" is a metaphor. a metaphor is a comparison, as is a simile, but a metaphor DOES NOT use "like" or "as." instead, it draws a direct comparison. in this sentence, snow is being compared to a "great eraser." notice how there is no "like" or "as" within the comparison, because the snow is directly being compared with an eraser.
