Metaphor: A figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using the words 'like' or 'as'. Example: 'The world is a stage.'

Personification: A figure of speech that assigns human qualities to an inanimate object or animal. Example: 'The stars danced across the night sky.'
Concepts:
The phrase 'raining cats and dogs' is a metaphor that is believed to have originated from the Greek comedy playwright Aristophanes. Although alliteration has been used for centuries, the term was first used by the English novelist, poet, and playwright Henry Fielding in 1749. The word 'personification' was first used in 1589 by the English author Thomas Nashe in his book 'The Anatomy of Absurdity'.
