Personification gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or ideas. This can really affect the way the reader imagines things. This type of figurative language is often used in children’s books, poetry, and fictional literature. Examples include:
Opportunity knocked on the door.
The sun greeted me this morning.
The sky was full of dancing stars.
The vines wove their fingers together to form a braid.
The radio stopped singing and stared at me.
The sun played hide and seek with the clouds.
