Personification is a literary device where you give human qualities or characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or abstract ideas. This helps to make the object or idea more relatable and engaging.
Here are some examples:
* The wind whispered secrets through the trees. (The wind is given the human quality of whispering.)
* The sun smiled down on the world. (The sun is given the human quality of smiling.)
* Time is a thief, stealing our youth. (Time is given the human quality of being a thief.)
Personification is often used in poetry, literature, and everyday speech to create a vivid image or to express a particular feeling.
