User:Superkid761/Personification

Personification is a form of figurative language known simply as a figure of speech, which applies human qualities to objects of a most inanimate nature, it also applies to concepts, and non human mammals (commonly known as animals).

In the arts(which is a theory surrounding the physical expression of creativity found in the cultures of human society) personification is used to represent non human things as if they were human,

means representing a non-human thing as if it were human. Personification gives human traits and qualities, such as emotions, desires, sensations, gestures and speech, often by way of a metaphor.

Personification is much used in visual arts. Examples in writing are "the leaves waved in the wind", "the ocean heaved a sigh" or "the Sun smiled at us". In easy language personification is just giving an example of a living being for a non-living thing. "The wind shouted". Obviously the wind cannot shout, only people can. This is what is called personification.
