Your examples for each literary device are generally accurate. However, I would like to provide a bit of clarification and consistency for each one:
1. **Extended Metaphor**: The description you provided is correct. An extended metaphor involves a comparison that is developed over several lines or throughout a work. Your example could be considered an extended metaphor if it continues to explore and compare crowd movement to ants crawling through sand over a significant portion of the text.
2. **Metaphor**: This example is also valid. A metaphor makes a direct comparison without using "like" or "as." Saying "My life is a tree beginning from a seed" is a clear metaphor.
3. **Simile**: Your simile is correct. A simile compares two things using "like" or "as." The phrase "The man's hair was as white as a snow-covered mountain" effectively illustrates this.
4. **Personification**: This example is correct as well. Personification gives human qualities to non-human things. "The sun winks and sends dappled light through the forest's trees" personifies the sun by suggesting it can "wink."
Overall, your examples illustrate the respective literary devices accurately.
