__ Personification __

__Personification does not compare two items in the same way as similes and metaphors compare. Rather, when writers use personification, they give objects (or even ideas) human qualities. These human qualities add a new dimension to the things, a dimension that ordinary description cannot add. "The field of dandelions danced in the breeze," is an example of a sentence which contains personification. Notice that the field of dandelions is the thing being described and that danced is the human quality given to the field. We do not normally associate dandelions with dancing, but we can imagine how dandelions would look "dancing" in the breeze.__

__Authors use personification to make fiction seem more real and make their writing more livelier.__

__Copy this table into yo____ur own Wi____ki and below write the object and the human quality.__

Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is:

tall a tall plank of wood kind a happy joyful person fast like a tiger slow as a snail smart like flynn fat as an elephant sneaky like a fox angry as an devil beautiful as a flower ugly as a witch stubborn as a piece of wood short as a standing mouse thin as a piece of hair silly as a clown scared easily like a mouse He is a giant. like a bean stalk She is an angle in heaven
