Personification 7th post


Definition:
personification describes a non human thing as if it were human
Example: The moon smiled down from high in the sky.
Significance: Personification can assist with imagery and emotion, helps to extend some metaphors, and also can just provide an "unusual" perspective for a regular object. When a tree or the sound of silence bears attributes that are familiar to the reader, an immediate connection sparks in the audience mind or upon either emotions.
