The sea swelled and churned ’neath its fearsome force,
And pitched the ship from its charted course.

Use the excerpt from the poem in the lesson to answer the question.
“Night climbed the horizon like a cat on the prowl;
Its breath was the wind that began to howl,
The piercing stars were its ravenous eyes,
Eclipsing the light to reveal its guise.”

By comparing the night to an animal
By making the night a character that can move and see
By giving the wind human qualities
By pairing the night and stars
