  1. PERSONIFICATION &ALLITERATION Learning target: varies sentence structure and word choice

  2. What is PERSONIFICATION Personification gives animals, ideas, or objects that aren’t alive HUMAN FORM and characteristics. It adds color or interest to letters, essays, and other nonfiction writing. Fiction writers create entire stores about animals who think, speak, and act like humans.

  3. CAN YOU THINK OF ANY EXAMPLES? Redwall– Brian Jacques The entire story off Redwall is technically a personification, because Jacques takes mice which do not have human-like characteristics, and gives them human-like characteristics. Here is an example of this:Again Basil vanished only to reappear three yards out on the common. "Come on Matthias. Tack to the left and wheel to the right. Bob and weave, duck and wriggle. Look its easy." This passage shows personification because the author gave Basil Stag Hare the hare human characteristics. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane – Kate DiCamillo He stared up at the ceiling and listened to the sound of her breath entering and leaving her body, knowing that soon she would be asleep. Because Edward’s eyes were painted on and he could not close them, he was always awake.
