What is an example of an personification?

Answer 1

(Personification ascribes life, intent, or cognition to something inanimate.)

"The news took me by surprise."

"The stars danced happily in the moonlit sky."

"The sun glared down on us."

"A root reached up to trip me."

"The wind laughed at our attempts to repair the tent."
Personification is giving human characteristics to animals or inanimate objects.

The dagger was smiling at Hamlet.

The tea kettle sang out that the water was boiling.

Laughing gaily, the sun rose over the small village of Henrysburg.
The run down house appeared depressed.

A house cannot actually be depressed. But with personification, the house can receive human characteristics.
personification is when you give an aninanimate object, person like qualities.

Such as the sun smiled high in the sky, or the top hugged her tummy.

The reason they are examples of personification is because a sun cant smile and a top can hug. So the writer of those sentences was giving the objects human like qualities.

Thus personifying them :)

Hope this helped!

Headlights stared,

the darkness wrapped his hands around the city,

the sea sang her calm tune,

the rocks standed still while the waves were hitting them,

it can be anything that is non-humanjust give it a personality.

but sometimes it's not easy

try your best GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
