You need to give us just a bit more information on what your teacher is wanting on these items. In #1...you have several poetic devices at work. One of which is imagery...the creation of a "picture" in the mind of the reader by appealing to the senses. You can almost visualize the defeated invaders. There is also the repetition of the "h" sound with "hunched," "hovels" and "hills." That particular poetic device is alliteration. The second example is definitely a hyperbole, which is an exaggeration. That one is exaggerating the height of the young man. Good luck with your assignment.

For the first, I would say hunched and silent. It means that the invaders were humbled by their adversaries.
In the second, no person is tall enough to be a danger to aircraft, so pretty much the whole thing is a figure of speech. "Danger to aircraft" could be a figure of speech meaning very tall.

Your sentences don't make any sense.
From what you've given, in #1, "hunched and silent' is a figure of speech. From #2, "he's a danger to aircrafts" is a figure of speech. How can 'he' be a danger to aircraft? By saying that he is presents a figure of speech. #1 should now be so obvious that to miss it could result in you tripping over it. Oops, another figure of speech.

A common figure of speech for number one is: "They returned to their hovels with their tails between their legs."
Number two: "His light shines, but it's confusing."
