The personification is a literary device which gives human qualities to things that are not human. These non-human things be either living things, such as plants and animals, or non-living, such as inanimate objects, rivers, the wind etc.<\/p>\nThe personification is a literary device which gives human qualities to things that are not human.

The word personification comes from:<\/p>\n
Person, meaning “a human being” and “ification” meaning to make.<\/p>\n
So, with the personification, we make (something) like a human being.<\/p>\n
Some good examples of the personification include:<\/p>\n
The wind whispered through the grass.<\/p>\n
The flowers smiled at me.<\/p>\n
The trees waved goodbye as the car drove away.<\/p>\n
The flowers danced in the wind.<\/p>\n
But the personification goes much further than that. For example, we can personify the country of USA when we refer to it as Uncle Sam.<\/p>\n
A poem which makes very good and colorful use of the personification is “Beclouded” by Emily Dickinson.<\/p>\n
