What is the figurative language in this paragraph from JFK's inaugural speech?

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

    The figure of speech, if I am not mistaken is personification. JFK is stating that the country can do something (implying human characteristics), but the country CAN'T literally do something for you in the way that is implied.
