What poetic device gives human qualities to non human things

All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
The poetic device is called personification. It attributes human qualities, actions, or emotions to nonhuman things (objects, animals, ideas, or forces).

Example: "The wind whispered through the trees."

Note: Personification is a type of figurative language used to make descriptions more vivid or relatable. Closely related is anthropomorphism, which more fully ascribes human form or behavior to animals or gods (common in fables and stories).
