Anthropomorphism would be used if that non-human (inanimate or living) thing in literature is literally attributed with human characteristics/qualities where it could think, look and even speak like a human could. Ex. the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland [The rabbit doesn't just figuratively talk, it literally does and Alice understand it/him clearly]
Personification on the other hand is a figure of speech where non-humans and objects are given human characteristics as a comparison to what they do or what happens to them. Ex. The clouds are crying. [Here, the clouds aren't really crying due to sadness or anything else. Rain pouring down from the clouds is compared to tears falling when a human cries]
