Explanation:

1. "Life is a rollercoaster of emotions" compares life to a rollercoaster without using "like" or "as", so it's a metaphor.
2. "He is such an Einstein" refers to the famous scientist Einstein to imply someone is smart, which is an allusion.
3. An oxymoron is when two opposite words are next to each other, like "jumbo shrimp".
4. "The door squeaked" uses a word that imitates the sound it represents, which is onomatopoeia.
5. "I had a million books to carry" is an exaggeration, or hyperbole, not alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds.
6. "You are on thin ice with me" is an idiom. "I would love to be a fly on the wall" is also an idiom. "You are like a one - man orchestra" is a simile, not an idiom.
7. "Her love is like a red, red rose" uses "like" to compare love to a rose, so it's a simile.
8. "Her love is bitter sweet" has opposite words "bitter" and "sweet" together, which is an oxymoron.
9. Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant or sound to create an effect.
10. Plot is not a figurative device. Figurative devices include metaphor, simile, etc.
