Question

In " the veldet," author Ray Bradbury repeatedly uses personification to give human traits to the Happylife Home operating system. Find and write down two lines(yes, I want you to write the full sentences with page numbers) where personification is used

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that Personification is a figurative expression that describes a thing, animal, or inanimate object in human traits to enhance the description of the object and give distinct characteristics to the narrative.

Hence, In "The Veldt," author Bradbury uses personification when he writes,

1. "George Hadley walked through the singing glade and picked up something that lay in the corner near where the lions had been."

Here, the "glade" is personified. Because ordinarily, the glade is just an open space surrounded by wood. But the author is describing it with human traits as "singing" glade.

2. "And although their beds tried very hard, the two adults couldn’t be rocked to sleep for another hour."

Here the beds are personified. Because ordinarily "bed" is just a piece of furniture with foam to sleep. So when the author described the "beds" to have "tried very hard" this is an example of personification.
