1) alliteration -repetitionof "f" sound
2) simile- like rotten eggs
3)personification - dogs don't plan like humans
4)metaphor - brains aren't really cabbage
5)alliteration- repetition
6) hyperbole? (not sure) as fast as she could -exaggeration?
7) metaphor.- his head isn't really any bigger.
Hope this helps
