The first one is a simile because it uses like. the second one is alliteration, it has de,de ,de dept.the third one is assonance, it relates to the house on mango street because ther was some family violence. I think that The House on Mango Street did a better job of using these elements. The house on mango street used them more often than “Son”, and made them part of the story more than “Son”.
