<h3>What is personification?</h3>
Personification happens when a thing or abstraction exists represented as an individual, in literature or art, as a kind of anthropomorphic metaphor. Similes and metaphors are used for comparison between two separate objects. Personification is giving human characteristics to non-living or non-human things, and hyperbole exists as an exaggeration of something. Thus, this exists the key distinction between simile metaphor personification and hyperbole.
Personification exists as a literary device that utilizes the non-literal use of language to express concepts in a relatable way. Writers use personification to present human characteristics, such as feelings and behaviors, to non-human things, animals, and ideas.
The example of personification in this excerpt stands: An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not see Rains ford, although the quietness of a dead world was in the jungle. Personification exists when inanimate things have human qualities. Here, a night cannot be anxious/crawl, because it exists not alive.
