How do you identify and explain personification?
Personification is a figure of speech in which a nonhuman thing or quality is talked about as if it were human.
In the following lines, sleep is spoken of as a human weaver.
The soft gray hands of sleep
Toiled all night long
To spin a beautiful garment
Of dreams
--Edward Silvera, from "Forgotten Dreams"
Look through the fifty top poems I sent you and pick out poems with examples of personification. The website is in your gmail. Just click on it.
Write the examples of personification on a Word Document with the heading "Personification in Poems." This is your response to literature today.
I'm looking forward to reading your personal crossticks and/or self-portraits.
