Default Cannery Row-PLEASE HELP!

HELP! I have this huge paper due tomorrow for Cannery Row. I don't have time to look up examples of Personification, Metaphors and Allusions. I need three of each. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out! Thanks!

If I were you, I'd point out to your teachers that one night is not sufficient time to complete an assignment like that. It's simply unreasonable.

Ah, but he's (she's) probably had a bit longer. I'd love to help but I am also short of time. The moral being; don't leave things to the last minute. I know that's no help but it's a good way to be.

I hadn't thought of that. Well, that puts a whole new slant on things. But why would a native English speaker come on a forum for ESL learners looking for help with their homework if they'd had ample opportunity to do it themselves? It just doesn't make any sense.
