Personification is when an object or idea is given human qualities or actions. It is recognized by emotionally charged language applied to non-human objects. It is common in poetry and can be used to glorify nature or create a threatening atmosphere.
Sentences with personification are complete grammatical constructions in which an object or abstract idea is described as having human qualities or engaging in human actions. Such objects or abstractions that are given human traits or actions are called “personified.” To recognize sentences with personification, one should first search for a sentence for an abstract non-human object, creature, or idea and examine how that part of the sentence is described. If it is described in terms normally applied to human beings and not to the type of object being described, personification is likely to be used. An object described solely in terms of physical traits with no attempt at human connection, on the other hand, is likely not to be personified.
More than simply offering a clear description of an object or abstraction, personification sentences tend to provide the reader with a new way of looking at an idea or thing, or to imbue something inherently emotionless with some kind of effect. emotional. One can easily recognize phrases with personification by looking for emotionally charged language applied to insensitive, non-human objects or concepts. While there is no personification in the “warm and bright sun,” personification is used in the “nourishing and loving sun.” The descriptions of temperature and brightness are not particularly characteristic of human beings, while “to love” and “to care for” can both be seen as very human traits. In particular, these descriptions serve to give the sun somewhat maternal qualities, a common tendency in literature.
Personification can be used in poetry or prose, although it is especially common in poetry. It is especially common in poetry intended to glorify nature or some divine principle. Phrases with personification in such works often refer to the song of the wind, the whisper of the rain and the trees reaching towards the sky. By giving aspects of nature these human qualities, the writer can create a scene in which the natural world itself possesses human qualities. These qualities tend to be used to glorify nature or to show that nature itself also praises some divine element.
You should also look into instances where elements of nature are made to sound threatening when searching for phrases with personification. Nature, objectively described, tends to be a powerful but impersonal force. In some situations, however, the elements of nature can be quite frightening; this is often communicated through the use of phrases with personification. The wind “howls”, a storm “rages in the night” and the branches of the trees have “clawed hands”. Looking for traits that make the cold, impersonal elements of nature more personal and human is a good way to recognize sentences with personification.
