Question

I'm writing an essay for school and we have to use Personification WHAT IS IT..................

please help

Answer 1

It means using human traits or characteristics to describe non-human things.

Answer 2

Personification is giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas).

Eaxmples:

1. Wind yells while blowing-is an example of personification because wind cannot yell. Only a living thing can yell.

2.Wind whispers like a tree in the breeze.

3.Moon dances around my fear.

4. Cars dance across the icy road.

hope i helped :)

Answer 3

Personification is giving human like qualities to non human objects.

Answer 4

Personification is a word that does things that humans do.
Ex:
trees talking (trees can't talk but humans do)

Answer 5

Personification is when you are taking something that isnt real and giving it human abilites. The example below says that the flowers are dancing in the wind. since flowers are not living they can't really dance. this would be called personification.

Example: The Flowers danced in the summer winds.
(the flowers are basically swaying or moving)

Answer 6

Giving non-humans or inanimate objects human characteristics.

Ex: the candle winked at me from the window.

This is used to show the candle is flickering.. however the candle does not have eyes and is not in fact winking. here a human trait is given to an inanimate object to help enhance an image.

Answer 7

when an object takes on a role of that a person could do...


like the cow jumped over the moon,
the spoon ran
the cat talked stuff like that

Answer 8

giving non-living objects human characteristics like weeping clouds or joyful daffodils.
