Explain where a simile, metaphor, or personification exists in the phrase below."Now when the young Dawn showed again with her rosy fingers, . . ."

In assessing what different examples of figurative
language are located in the phrase, I think that some basic distinction is needed.  The
tools of comparative language located in the simile and metaphor is dependent on the use
of "like" or "as" in the comparison in the case of the former.  The latter will feature
a much stronger comparison as these words are absent.  The personification will involve
an object being the recipient of human- like behavior.  With these in mind, the "dawn"
is personified through the use of "showed again with her rosy fingers."  This is
personification because "dawn" is given the ability to "show" again and "her rosy
fingers."  These are normally human characteristics are done so in order to give a sense
of life to that which is inanimate.  There is no use of simile or metaphor because the
personification is what is controlling the imagery in the clause.  A similar of this
sentence would be something to indicate that the dawn pointed, "as if she had rosy
fingers."  The personification makes the comparison much stronger than the simile or
metaphor would.
