In Gary Soto's novel "Buried Onions," three examples of personification include: "The sun slapped the streets," where the sun is given human-like qualities of slapping; "The streets choked with weeds," where the streets are described as if they are able to choke like a person; and "The evening wind hummed," where the wind is attributed with the ability to hum, a human characteristic. Personification is a literary device where non-human objects or concepts are given human attributes.
In Chapter 1 of "Buried Onions," the author Gary Soto uses personification to describe the setting of Fresno, California. Three examples of personification include describing the city as having "shoulders," which suggests a sense of strength or burden. The author also personifies the city as having "breath," which could imply life or vitality. Lastly, Soto personifies Fresno as having "teeth," which could symbolize danger or a harsh environment.

Four chopped green onions will give you around 1/2 cup, although it would greatly depend on the thickness and length of the green onions. And by "green onions", we will assume you are referring to the long, thin onions, also referred to as scallions or spring onions.
