What are some personifications in A Single Shard?

Answer 1

The clay made squelching, sucking noises, as if it were trying to swallow the spade.

Answer 2

Oh honey, in "A Single Shard" by Linda Sue Park, you've got Tree-ear talking to a rock like it's his bestie, Crane-man being all wise and mysterious like Yoda, and even the dang pottery itself gets personified like it's a character with feelings. It's like a soap Opera with inanimate objects, but hey, it works.

Answer 3

In "A Single Shard," the character of Tree-ear personifies resilience and determination in the face of challenges. The way Tree-ear personifies the pottery in the story as a living, breathing entity that reflects the artistry and skill of the potter is also significant. Additionally, the setting of Ch'ulp'o is personified as a character in itself, with its rugged beauty and strong presence shaping the experiences of the other characters.
