The phrase “My feet are dead fish” is a metaphor.
What is a metaphor?
A metaphor is a comparison between two or more things without using either of the terms “like” or “as.” In this phrase, the person’s feet are being compared to dead fish in a sense of saying they are alike.
Personification on the other hand is when an object or abiotic factor is given human feelings, actions, or qualities that in the typical world would not exist. If I were to reword this phrase into “ The dead fish were crying,” an idea would be given that this is personification because dead fish cannot cry physically.
This phrase is a metaphor.
