Here are the definitions for the types of figurative language you've listed:

1. Allusion - A reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art.

2. Hyperbole - An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, used for emphasis or effect.

3. Personification - Assigning human traits or characteristics to non-human objects or abstract ideas.

4. Metaphor - A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as".

• allusion: Reference to well-known entities.
• hyperbole: Exaggeration for emphasis.
• personification: Human traits to non-human things.
• metaphor: Comparison without "like" or "as".
