Here are the lines the contain personification:
-<span>The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the pass and whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite. . . .
-</span><span>And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes. . . .
Basically, when we say personification, this is one of the figures of speech which attributes the characteristics of humans to something that is not human.</span>
“Let’s go to my house.”
“Your house?”
“Yeah. You can meet my mom.”
“What about your dad?”
“Oh, he has to work late tonight. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, it’s fine! I’m sure I’ll meet him another time. Oh, don’t do your nervous thing! There will be plenty of opportunities for me to meet him later.”
“My ‘nervous thing’?”
“You know. Where you pinch your eyebrows together tilt your head over your shoulder.”
“Well, you’re a perceptive one...”
“Come on, don’t look at me like that! I notice things about a lot of different people.”
“Alright, Detective Beautiful, we should probably start heading to my house now. It’s not far, just about a ten-minute walk.”
“Hey, is that your dad in that picture on the mantle? The one in the navy frame?”
“Yeah, from when he was on a business trip in Seattle. You’re from there, right?”
“Uh, yeah, but the thing is...”
“What is it? Are you alright?”
“Uh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine, but the thing is...the thing is that I have...have the same picture, the same frame...at my house. On my mantle. Actually, I...I took the picture.”
Paraphrasing is what you are looking for . This means rewriting or restating something. Not changing the main idea but instead creatively inputing your own insight of an original idea. So some good advice I can give about the above paragraph you have given.
The above paragraph summarily believes that death penalty is better than just getting life in prison for a crime committed. This belief is defended by the idea that life in prison doesn't being relief or the end to something bad that has happened. The above paragraph specifically mentions the victims family members. The person believes the death pentaly is the best way to end a bad situation. The victims family get justice and peace while the criminal is punished for the crime they have done.
