What type of literary device is " As the cave's roof collapsed, he was Jonah, swallowed up, and only his frantic scrabbling behind a wall of rock indicated that there was anyone still alive" explain why it is that type of literary device

need this ASAP please

Explanation:

This is an allusion.

It makes reference to a Biblical character that was swallowed  by a large fish (some people say it was a whale. It wasn't). You can read the Old Testament version by reading Jonah. It isn't very long and should take you only about 1/2 hour.

It is a very apt allusion, because Jonah had to pray to the Lord begging for forgiveness before he was released from the stomach of the creature. I doubt any of the seamen knew what happened to him until he was released at the behest of the Lord.

This quotation conveys the same idea. No one knew there was life behind the  wall until they heard the frantic noise.

theres no poem plesae include that

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
