Personification is a figure of speech that gives human qualities, emotions, or actions to non-human things (objects, animals, ideas, or natural forces).
Examples:
- "The wind whispered through the trees."
- "Time marches on."
- "The city never sleeps."
Purpose: it creates vivid imagery, makes abstract ideas relatable, and evokes emotion. Note: anthropomorphism is similar but usually treats animals or objects as fully human characters rather than using a brief metaphorical attribute.
