The giant Pangu formed inside an egg and grew safely inside for eons. He finally grew too large for the egg, and it cracked open

, freeing him. Some parts of the shell floated into the air, forming the heavens, while the rest of the shell formed the earth below. Pangu placed himself between the earth (yin) and the sky (yang). He grew ten feet per day for 18,000 years, increasing the distance between heaven and earth. Upon Pangu’s death, the world and its elements were formed. His breath became the wind and clouds, his voice formed thunder and lightning, his eyes turned into the sun and moon, his limbs became the four compass directions, his torso transformed into mountains, his flesh became soil and trees, his bones became rocks and minerals, his blood flowed into rivers, and his sweat was rain.

Why does the author use personification in stanza 4 ? in annabel lee
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: The author uses personification in Stanza 4 <u>to point out that the death of Annabel Lee was something he could not prevent from happening.</u>

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech in which human traits and characteristics are given to inanimate object.

In <em>Annabel Lee</em>, Poe writes about the death of a beautiful woman. The speaker expresses sadness over her death, describing their deep love. In Stanza 4, the speaker states: <em>“the wind came out of the cloud by night,/ Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee”</em>

By writing that the wind killed his Annabel Lee, the speaker wants to point out that her death was inevitable, and not something he could influence or change. Later in the poem, he states that the angels must have been jealous of their love and thus caused the wind to take Annabel Lee from him.
