Personification

Everyone knows what a person is, but do you know what personification is? A personification is when you assign human qualities to something that isn't alive.

Examples of personifications

• The stars DANCED playfully in the moonlit sky.
• The run down house APPEARED depressed.
• The first rays of the morning TIPTOED through the meadow.
• The bees PLAYED hide and seek with the flowers as they buzzed from one to another.
• The river SWALLOWED the earth as the water continued to rise higher and higher.
• The thunder GRUMBLED like an old man
• At precisely 6:30am my alarm clock SPRANG into life
• The news TOOK me by surprise.
• The EVIL tree was lurking into the shadows.
• The ocean DANCED into the moonlight.
