Read this excerpt from a speech about the need for recycling: As you can see, recycling has many positive results. To achieve these great results for our planet, everyone needs to contribute, and school is one place to start. If you think about it, a school uses a lot of paper. Just think of how many worksheets, tests, and sheets of notebook paper you have used this week. If you counted every piece of paper that you used in one week, you might be in for a big surprise. What is more surprising is the actual time it takes to recycle. You might think that recycling takes a lot of time and effort. That is simply not the case. Think about how many boxes of computer and copy paper your school uses. Once those boxes are empty, ask your teacher or school secretary if you can use them for a recycling project. Write the word RECYCLE in big letters with a marker on the side of each box and distribute them in the classrooms in your school. You may want to make one box for paper only and a second box for other items such as soda cans. Above the recycle boxes, hang a poster that describes all the items that can be recycled. Then, all it takes is a simple phone call to a recycling plant to find out when your recycled materials can be picked up from the school. Now that you know all about the benefits of recycling and how easy it is to get started, give it a try! Start recycling, and make our planet a better place to live.

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
