"People sat crackling roasted watermelon seeds with their golden teeth and scattering the husks to an impatient gathering of gurgling pigeons." Read the quotes from "Rules of the Game" below. Identify each quote as an example of imagery, hyperbole, or personification

Answer 1

Personification — the pigeons are given a human quality (“impatient”), so animals are described as if they have human feelings. (The vivid sounds and sights in the line also create imagery, but the key device here is personification.)
