I haven't paid particular attention to The Wind In The Willows as I'm not planning on using it, but here are a few things that I remember about it:

- personification: animals are given human characteristics, personality and speech
- symbolism: the animals can be seen as individual representations of different social classes or different facets of British society
- imagery: if I remember correctly, there are quite a few visual descriptions of a journey in the exerpt

Sorry it's not very detailed, it's probably better to get info off of someone's who has actually read it properly.

I can't really help you with The Tempest as I didn't study that either.

It's more than personification - giving animals human qualities is called anthropomorphism.

or a simpler word for giving animals human characteristics is allegory. thats what most of the study guides say anyway. if you are having trouble with it i suggest you do some research on it, maybe get some study guides or something. but wind in the willows isnt that hard, u will be ok...
