Answer:

Personification is when you give an animal or object qualities or abilities that only a human can have. This creative literary tool adds interest and fun to poems or stories. Personification is what writers use to bring non-human things to life. It helps us better understand the writer's message.The following is an example of personification used in The One and Only Ivan by Katharine Applegate. The main character Ivan is a gorilla that is given human qualities. The following lines make it seem like he thinks and expresses himself like a human.The last example is from The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. In this book, the crayons feel emotions and act like humans. The crayons express that they had enough of drawing and quit. I have to color all the Santas at Christmas and all the hearts on Valentine's Day. I need a rest. Personification is commonly used in advertising.

It would be personification because devoured is a human like action I guess, I can’t really explain it very well

Justin came running down the stairs wearing his Tatakai Ninjas pajamas. He did a karate kick off
e-lub [12.9K]
He was hoping to get something involving the Tatakai Ninjas. there are multiple different pieces of evidence you could use, like the fact that he was wearing Tatakai pajamas or used a Tatakai Ninjas toothbrush and cup to brush his teeth to explain how much he likes the Tatakai Ninjas, so it is most likely what he wanted. i hope this helps!!

I think the answer might be scene or act seeing as chapter is part of the book, a scene or act is part of the play. Hope this helps!

How does Shakespeare use foreshadowing and imagery to highlight the theme of predestination and emphasize the coming deaths of R
Assoli18 [71]
<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>
