Answer:
Personification.
Explanation:
Personification is a figure of speech that allows authors to give human qualities or characteristics to objects, animals, or even ideas. By doing so, they make their writing more descriptive, poetic, and imaginative. It is quite common to see personification in poetry. Also, fables rely greatly on personification since they are stories in which animals talk and display human behavior.
An example of personification would be describing "the wind sang outside my window as the night grew colder." The wind cannot literally sing but, by saying so, the writer makes it seem as if the wind has a mind of its own, as if it can act in a human way and convey feelings.
