Personification is giving human traits to non human objects.

For example, if someone said “The trees danced back in forth in the wind” or “the smell of cookies pulled me into the kitchen” it would be personification.

This is because trees can’t dance, and cookies can’t “pull you”. Personification is used as a writing enhancer, and helps spice up your writing with a sarcastic and humorous explanation.

Also it can help describe things vividly.

Well, I hope that helped you! Best of luck, and I would love if you would let me know if that helped you out Thanks!

<em>Giving something human-like characteristics.</em>

Personification is when an inanimate object is given human-like abilities/characteristics. For example "death´s grip"

That example is personification as death cannot actualy grip something.

Answer:

  • There are plenty of giraffes and wild asses on the islands.

The Travels of Marco Polo is a 13th-century chronicle written down by Rustichello da Pisa. It retells the stories of Marco Polo regarding his travels through Asia between 1271 and 1295. There is some debate over the authenticity of the fabulous stories. However, the consensus is that the stories are, for the most part, accurate depictions of Asia during the Middle Ages.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The central idea of Rudyard Kipling's "Smuggler's Song" is to "warn the readers  about smuggling and advice them to be careful on what they say whenever they see them"

Explanation:

Kipling wrote this poem about smugglers in the area he lived. He wrote to  warn the readers about smuggling and how to be careful with their words if  should see them.

This can be seen in the words in one of the lines:

"<em>You be careful what you say"</em> and the words "<em>Don't you tell where no one is".</em>  These implied to tell them to keep the whole smuggling operaton a secret.

The stanzas consists of 8 stanzas . It was written in a narrative style with each stanza covering the same topic.

The speaker in this poem is Rudyard Kipling.

The speaker helps to create a mood where the reader can viualize what was truly happening in this poem. At this moment in time, the speaker tends to address a young child explaining how to act and behave around the smugglers and the guards as well.
