Answer: personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals) in order to create an image. In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification because Calpurnia says that graves (non human objects) have the ability of yawning and yielding up their dead (which are human characteristics that graves can't really do).

Write a paragraph about the role that nature played in the early American settlements and how this influenced literary themes.
marta [7]
As the early explorers began leaving Europe and discovering new lands they were filled with awe and excitement. These explorers had never seen such pristine landscapes, which appeared to be untouched. Nature had an important role in what was to become known as ‘The New World.’ The early explorers and settlers were greatly affected by nature both in positive and negative ways.Often as people traveled across ocean they fell ill from disease and famine, for the voyages were long and difficult. Many lost their lives as a result of the lack of food, fresh water and exposure, either during the voyage or soon after.
