Hi!
To answer this question we need to know the definition of each term.
1- Personification is the action of attributing personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman. In this case it would be wrestler, drums as the author is personifying the drums as wrestlers.
2- A Simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind and it's used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. Therefore, in this case, the simile would be “[…] they are white like this piece of chalk" as the author is comparing men to a piece of chalk to show the reader how vivid and white the color of those men was.
3- A Metaphor is a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract. In this case, it would be “Fireflies went about with their tiny green lamps […]" as the author is talking about the symbolic "lamps" that fireflies have when referring to their bioluminescence.
4- An extended metaphor is when the author exploits a single metaphor or analogy at length through multiple linked tenors, vehicles, and grounds throughout a poem or story. In this case it would be the remaining option, earth, sky.

While Mr. Al-Sayed converses with his customers, he remembers how the Bodega was opened and how things were at first compared to the present and this made him remark how he thought his son was so much like him at a younger age.
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights?

Based on the context, suitable words can be 'exhausting', 'intense', or 'relentless'. Thus, the sentence could be: 'The firefighters were enervated by the relentless forest fires, so they decided to eat and rest before returning to work.'

Answer:
The reason why Harriet Beecher Stowe was influenced to write "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is that she was disturbed and bothered by the Congress' Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The new law required Northern citizens to help return escaped slaves back to the South. Thus, Stowe wished Americans to become conscious of the cruelty and brutality of the slavery system. As a result, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" became a polemical best selling book in America, and it further divided citizens on slavery before the American Civil War.
