English

Ann [662]3 years ago

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech used in literary texts that consists of giving animated characteristics to objects and aims to bring greater richness of meaning to the text and greater understanding and interest for the reader. This resource used in the poem brings more animism to the text, since the writer is able to express herself in a more sentimental way using the language resource.

It is possible to notice the personification in the excerpts:

"It's as if the rain

had pierced my temples".

and

"a gleaming pebble

from constant rubbing

becomes a comet".
