PERSONIFICATION
What Is?
PERSONIFICATION
Some Examples of What People Do:
Eat
Cry
Speak
Now, Lets Imagine an Object Doing These Things:
Eat
Cry
Speak
That’s Personification.
So, personification is when
you give an object that is
not human, qualities of a
human.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The stars danced playfully in the sky.
The printer ate the paper.
The flowers nodded their heads as the wind blew.
The ocean waves swallowed the boat.
The old chair moaned as the boy jumped on it.
Why Do Poets
Use
Personification?
So the leg of the desk
bumped the arm of the
couch,
so the arm of the couch
slapped the face of the clock.
And they pinched and they
punched
And they banged and they
knocked,
And they ripped and they
flipped,
And they rolled and they
rocked.
