No, that is a simile. Personification is describing some nonliving thing in terms of something alive.

No, your quote is not an example of personification. Personification is when human characteristics are attributed to something inanimate. An example would be, "the tower looms like a high school principal casting his shadow across the otherwise joyful stadium"

No because comparing it to a tower is not comparing it to any human quality. An example of personification would be 'whispering wind' or 'playful flowers', etc. 'Looms like a tower' would be a simile.

No it's a simile. When the word "like" is used or "as big as" or "as small as" then it's a simile. If you had said "the tower breathes evil" then that's personification. Personification means giving human traits to nonhuman or abstract things.

This is actually a simile (comparison using the word "like" of "as.") By giving whatever "it" in your original phrase the attributes of a human being (not comparing it, but actually giving it the attributes) then you achieve personification.
EXAMPLES:
The wind yelled as it blew.
My thoughts race through my mind.

no. A tower is not a living, breathing thing. It is an inanimate object.
