away.
• The afternoon is so bright that the sun would have
to wear sunglasses.
4. Personification

Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-living objects. Using personification affects the way
readers imagine things, and it sparks an interest in the subject.

Other examples of personification include:

of onomatopoeia include:
