Education English | Personification | Wren and Martin (1979:489) say that personification is abstract nations and inanimate objects are spoken of as having life and intelligence. The examples of personification according to Wren and Martin are:
a. The Mountain sings together, the hills rejoice and clap their hands
b. The sun smiled down on us today
c. laughter holding both her sides
The first example “The Mountain sings together, the hills rejoice and clap their hands” shows that the mountain is inanimate objects but it was made like having life by the mountain can sing and the hills are also inanimate objects that have a hand. The sentence “The sun smiled” in the second example “The sun smiled down on us today” is personification. The sun is inanimate objects but it has been given the human quality of smiling.
