Personification ♥




Definition: a figure of speech in a poem that bring objects to life,
and descirbe it as a human like it have humans feelings and thoughts

Example:

"Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"said the sunflowers, shining with dew."Our traveling habits have tired us.Can you give us a room with a view?"

They arranged themselves at the window
and counted the steps of the sun,
and they both took root in the carpet
where the topaz tortoises run.

(William Blake)

Significance: The importance of personification is it makes the poem more live-like and more interesting to read. We can borrow an object to express our feelings instead of just having a person talking about their feelings because if we use personification it will be more original.
