What are some examples of anthropomorphism?

Anthropomorphism is when you assign human characteristics to non-humans. Here are some examples:

• assigning a human form to a deity
• Fairy Tales or fables where animals talk
• cartoons such as Mickey Mouse and video games such as Sonic the Hedgehog
• assigning emotions and thoughts to inanimate objects such as your computer

Even scientists have a tendency to assign emotion and thought to the animals they study!

Answer 3

Hey Diddle, Diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon; the little dog laughed to see such sport. And the dish ran away with the spoon.
