Good writers spice up their sentences by using personification. What is personification? Personification is a literary device whereby non-living things are given human characteristics or quality.
Let's look at how personification can make sentences more interesting.
Examples:
(1) The light shone into the room.
The light squeezed through the curtains and tickled my eyes.
(2) The wind blew very strongly.
The wind howled and screamed, ripping Ben's hat off his head.
(3) The car engine was noisy when it was started.
The car engine sputtered and coughed before roaring to life.
(4) The sunflowers grew towards the sun.
The sunflowers stretched their necks towards the beaming sun.
(5) The rain fell to the ground.
The rain pelted the ground, attacking it from every angle.
(6) The class was quiet.
Silence crept into the classroom.
(7) The mountain seemed difficult to climb.
The mountain taunted me, daring me to conquer it.
