📚 Quick Study Guide

  • ✍️ Personification is when you give human qualities to non-human things (like animals, objects, or ideas).
  • 🌳 Think of it as making something non-human act like a person. For example, "The wind whispered secrets." Wind can't actually whisper!
  • 🎭 Common examples include: The sun smiled, the leaves danced, or the storm raged.
  • 💡 To identify personification, ask yourself: Is this thing doing something only a person can do?
  • 📖 Personification makes writing more vivid and interesting. It helps you imagine things in a new way!
