Read the following passage and point out literary and rhetorical devices in it.

The wind howled like a furious beast, shaking the windows and rattling the doors. Outside, the trees danced a wild, desperate waltz, their branches clawing at the sky as if begging for mercy. In the distance, the thunder roared, its voice a deep, menacing growl that sent shivers down my spine. "Tonight," I whispered, "the storm is a monster unleashed."

The rain pounded the earth, each drop a soldier in nature's relentless army, while the night grew darker, swallowing the last traces of light. Time itself seemed to stand still, suspended in the grip of the storm's wrath. It was as if the world had been silenced, all sound drowned by the symphony of chaos outside.

But amidst the tempest, there was a strange, eerie calm within me. I knew this storm wasn't just a force of nature it was a reflection of something deeper, a mirror to the turmoil brewing inside. For every flash of lightning outside, there was a bolt of realization within, each illuminating the shadows of doubt and fear I had carried for far too long.
