Personification is used to give objects, or abstract ideas, human traits or qualities, such as emotion, desires, speech, sensation or physical gesture.

For example:

* The stars smiled sadly over the moonlit night - here personification is used to give the objects (stars) both gesture and emotion, both trait that stars are not capable of, but humans are. * Window really loves to crash - here windows has been given the human emotion of love, even though, as a programme, it is quite incapable of feelings. * The flowers suffered from the heat - Although heat came make flowers wilt, suffering is again a human trait. * The teddy bear enjoyed the little girls company - teddy bears are inanimate objects and are incapable of emotion, so to say he was enjoying something would be personification.
