The first sentence, "There is a metric ton of books in my backpack," is an example of **hyperbole**, which is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, used for emphasis.
The second sentence, "my backpack stubbornly refuses all attempts to lift it even when I use both hands," is an example of **personification**, as it attributes human-like qualities (stubbornness and refusal) to an inanimate object (the backpack).
