Answer: Simile and personification.

Simile refers to a literary device in which two things are directly compared. Most of the time, this comparison is made by using a word such as "like." In the poem, the author compares the monument to a fishbone.

Personification is also a literary device, in which the author gives human characteristics to an inanimate object, an animal, a natural phenomena or a setting. In this case, the author refers to the "city's throat." By claiming that the city has a throat, he is using personification.
