Cheers
This is an example of simile. A direct comparison is being made between the brightness of [an unspecified subject] and the brightness of the sun. An example sentence might be:Her smile was as bright as the sun.
Personification is the attribution of human qualities and attributes to nonhuman things. In "the sun continue to smile on him," the sun is smiling, which is considered as a human quality. The sun doesn't literally smile (up)on (someone or something), but it expresses, bestow, or look with favor or approval on someone or something.
They finish school... *smile* The future is bright.
Look on the bright side of life, think good things, be happy, do something you enjoy and you may not even know it but you are smiling!
