because the wind is not being compared to
anything.
There is nothing in the sentence that suggests
it means the opposite of what it being stated,
so the answer is not irony.
It is an example of personification, which is
when you give human attributes or qualities to
non-living things or concepts. The wind cannot
literally "whisper", because it isn't a person.

unlike objects. In this example, "you" and
"sunshine" are compared to one another. It is a

objects using the words "like" or "as". In this
