Personification is a literary device in which human qualities, emotions, or characteristics are attributed to non-human entities, objects, animals, or abstract concepts. This technique helps to create vivid imagery and make the subject more relatable to the reader.
Example: "The wind whispered through the trees, sharing secrets with the leaves."
In this sentence, the wind is given the human ability to "whisper" and "share secrets," which enhances the imagery and evokes a feeling of intimacy with nature.
