The feeling of something is not specifically personification, alliteration, or onomatopoeia. Personification gives human characteristics to non-human things, alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound, and onomatopoeia imitates sounds. The feeling of something is more related to emotions or sensations.
That phrase is an example of personification, ascribing human characteristics to an inanimate object. It is not an onomatopoeia, which is a word that imitates a sound, or an alliteration, which is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words.
When using personification, the poet must imagine how something else might feel.
There are different forms of figurative language, alliteration and onomatopoeia. Alliteration is reapeating the sound of a consonant over and over in a phrase. Ex. "And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain..."Other examples of alliterationPeter Piper picked some pickled peppers.Seven silver snakes slithered slowly.Onomatopoeia are words that sound like what they are. Ex. "Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door..."Other examples for onomatopoeiapopcracksnapechoslapbeatingrustlingThe bust of Pallas on which the raven alights adds to the ancient feel to the narrator's tale. His question, "Is there balm in Gilead?" alludes to Job from the Old Testament, who suffered the insufferable and hints at the internal pain suffered by the narrator on account of Lenore's death. This example of an allusion is an example of a figurative language.For onomatopoeia: tapping, rapping, ah, rustling, beating, etc.there are all sorts like alliteration or internal ryhme: Alliteration- "grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt"Internal Rhyme- "dreary/weray" "shutter/ flutter"These are examples of figurative language in "The Raven"
No, "mourn" is not an onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia words are ones that sound like the noise they describe, such as "buzz" or "crash". "Mourn" is a verb meaning to feel or show deep sorrow or grief.
This is a personification because you cant actually fire it but it describes the way you want to feel about something.
Personification requires the poet to imagine how something else might feel
The figurative language in this sentence is personification, giving human-like qualities to a plant by suggesting it can feel sadness.
An example of personification in the short story "The Sniper" is when the sniper's hands are described as "numbed with the cold." This personification gives human qualities to the hands by suggesting that they can feel cold like a person.
The purpose of using personification as a technique in writing is to give inanimate objects human qualities. This is done to connect the reader in a way that the reader can relate, and to stimulate the imagination.
Personification (APEX)
Example: My name is Mark, and I am a frog that lives in a pond named Grand Lake. I feel that I shouldn't have to live in this pond, because it is so dirty and murky. Sadly, my parents say it is the safest place for me to live, so I guess I have to live here. ~ As you can see, a personification essay is when you are giving human qualities to something that we wouldn't think would have human qualities.
Personification is giving animals or things characteristics of a human, like talking. So an example in the twilight books would be wolves (Jacob) that talk and feel emotions because in real life they don't.
