The rest of this presentation will be review for your Unit 1 tests. These tests will open on Monday and are due Wednesday.

​

I strongly suggest you finish all the other content in Unit 1 before taking the test to be sure you are fully prepared.

Multiple Choice

Which sentence most clearly uses personification?

• The lady has a pile of purses taller than the Empire State Building

• Each race car was a force of nature rushing toward us.

• My dog is a fluffy teddy bear.

• I tried to keep walking, but the wind shoved me backward with a hiss.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not personification?

• Wise mountain

• Fussy branches

• Humongous tree

• Irrational weather

Remember, personification is giving human qualities or nature to something nonhuman.

​Be careful not to confuse metaphor and simile with personification.

*Each race car was a force of nature rushing toward us.

^^^That is a metaphor because it is comparing the car to a force of nature. Additionally "force of nature" is not a human characteristic.​

​

It helps to ask yourself if it includes a human characteristic or nature.

*Wise, fussy, ​and irrational are human qualities because they require intelligence. Humongous is just an adjective.
