What is Personification

Giving human qualities to non-human things

Describing the weather

Talking about people

Using literal language

The pizza is making a phone call

The pizza looks delicious and I want to eat it

The pizza has a name

The pizza can talk

Because they have to

To create vivid imagery for the reader

To make the text longer

To make their writing more difficult to understand

To simplify complex concepts

To add dramatic flair and create a vivid image

To report facts

To confuse the reader

The sun glared angrily upon the desert

The car is red

Water is wet

The book is on the table
