assigning human qualities or characteristics to things or animals
Explanation:
When a writer makes a thing or an animal behave as if it were human, it means the writer is using a figure of speech called personification. In other words, the author assigns human qualities or characteristics to things or animals.
A thesis statement must give three points of support. It should indicate that the essay will explain and give evidence for its assertion, but points don't need to come in any specific number.
