"The train cars sway from side to side, up and down like bobbing ice cubes" what literary devices are used? what does is mean?

metaphor

Explanation:

They are using a form of imagery in this phrase. The train carts are not literally ice cubes bobbing up and down. It's used to help the reader imagen the scenario. Always refur to a "sentance/quote" as a 'phrase'. And use things like further more and moreover to get yourself good grades. Good luck

the guest is my guess

"facing the rising sun of our new day begun

let us march on till victory is won.",

because the rising sun is a symbol of hope.
