Detailed explanation-1: -Personification Personification is giving human qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics to inanimate (non-living) objects. For example: The window winked at me. The verb, wink, is a human action. A window is an inanimate object.
Detailed explanation-2: -Personification examples “The sun smiled down on us.” ‘The story jumped off the page.” “The light danced on the surface of the water.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Personification is the attribution of human qualities, characteristics, or behaviours to non-humans, be they animals, inanimate objects, or even intangible concepts. “The moon glared in the window at me.” This is personification.
