Practising Personification

“Personification is a literary device where human characteristics—like emotions, actions, or thoughts—are given to animals, objects, or abstract ideas. It’s a creative way to make non-human things feel alive, relatable, and engaging.

It’s easy to confuse personification with other literary tools like metaphor or simile, but here’s the difference:

Metaphor: Compares two things directly (e.g., “The storm is a beast”).

Simile: Compares two things using like or as (e.g., “The storm roared like a lion”).

Personification: Focuses on giving human-like traits (e.g., “The storm threw its anger across the sky”)

Personification doesn’t just compare—it transforms.”

Mark El-Ayat
