What are 3 examples of a literary element such as personification plus page number and why it's that literary element from the book Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Simile, Metaphor, and Personification.

Answer 2

1. In Lord of the Flies, the island is described as "fringed with water" (pg. 51), personifying the water as having the ability to surround and protect the island like a fringe. This is personification because it gives human characteristics to the water by implying it has the ability to accessorize the island.

2. Another example is when the parachute in the tree is described as "flapped and sank" (pg. 175), personifying the parachute as if it were alive and capable of movement. This personification creates a sense of unease and tension as it suggests an ominous presence watching over the boys.

3. Additionally, the storm in the novel is depicted as "growling" (pg. 189), personifying the storm by attributing the sound of growling, typically associated with animals, to the weather. This personification adds an element of danger and hostility to the storm, heightening the sense of foreboding in the scene.
