you are like an angel-simile (uses the words like and as)
you are an angel-metaphor (doesn't use like or as)
the wind is whispering-personification (gives non-human things human qualities)
Peter piper pecked a pack of pickled peppers-alliteration (repeats the first letter of the word over and over)

I hope i helped!!!

A simile is a comparison of two unlike things, typically marked by use of "like" or "as". Examples include "the snow was as thick as a blanket", or "she was as smart as a crow".

A metaphor uses direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects that typically uses "is a" to join the first subjects. A metaphor is commonly confused with a simile which compares two subjects using "like" or "as". An example of a simile: "He was as sly as a fox." In the simplest case, a metaphor takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]."

Personification anthropomorphism is a figure of speech that gives non-humans and objects human traits and qualities like, "the wind howled with frustration."

Alliteration is a stylistic device, or literary technique, in which successive words (more strictly, stressed syllables) begin with the same consonant sound or letter. "The breakers were right beneath the bows."
