The first sentence, “When I get home, the warm smell from the kitchen greets me at the door,” is an example of personification because it gives human-like qualities to the warm smell by suggesting it can greet someone.

The second sentence, “The soup gurgles and splats on the stove when it boils over,” is an example of onomatopoeia since it uses words that imitate the sounds associated with the actions (gurgles and splats).

So in summary:

  1. Personification
  2. Onomatopoeia
