Figurative of Speech: A device used to produce figurative language. Examples: apostrophe, metaphor, personafication, simile. etc.
Example:
" Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest esy in its grave and has to go about that way every night grieving."
This is an example of personafication. He's giving a ghost the wuality of a human being. A ghost cannot grieve and cannot talk. Therefore the ghost did not want to tell him anything.
