Answer: personification.

The description of the street is an example of personification. The excerpt describes the street as "tired with many feet." The sentence therefore gives the street the qualities of a person (that of being tired). Personification is a rhetorical device in which objects, animals, natural phenomena and other nonhuman entities are given human qualities.

I think this story is trying to tell people to complete tasks before moving on.</span>
