What technique is being used? Personification and Alliteration 

Alliteration, Rhyme, Onomatopoeia, Idiom, Simile, Metaphor, Hyperbole, or Personification 

Explain how you figured it out: 

  Februaries can’t die like humans can; therefore it is an example of personification.  Also, many words 

begin with the letter “F” or “S”, so it also has alliteration.
