What literary term does Steinbeck employ in the last sentence of chapter one in Of Mice and Men?

The last sentence of chapter one
reads:

The sycamore
leaves whispered in a little night
breeze.

There is more than one
literary device at work in this quote. You might want to pick the one to use that you have
recently studied or that your teacher would understand you already
know.

PERSONIFICATION: Leaves do not have the capacity to perform
the human act of whispering. When an object is described as a human, this is personification at
work.

IMAGERY: Imagery is the use of sensory detail to help develop
a picture. As you read this last sentence, you can almost see wind blowing through leaves on a
canvas of midnight blue. This image displays the use of both what can be seen and
heard.

This could also be foreshadowing which
you will understand by the end of the book...
