Personification

Personification is a literary device where human qualities, traits, or emotions are attributed to non-human objects, animals, or ideas. It helps create vivid imagery and emotional resonance by making abstract or inanimate things feel more relatable. For example, saying "the wind whispered through the trees" gives the wind human-like ability to whisper, enhancing the reader’s sensory experience. Personification adds depth and personality to writing and is often used in poetry, stories, and everyday language to evoke feelings and make descriptions more engaging.
