Personification

Definition: Giving objects human- like personalities.


Example:
The sun kissed the flowers.
The wind was whistling.
The grass was dancing.
The car was humming.
The washer gurgled the detergent. The computer began to talk.
Opportunity began to knock on my door.
The leaves danced in the wind frantically/gracefully.
The pillow whispered a bedtime story into my ear

Significance: Personafication makes abiotic objects come to life
