Personification

Standard

Personification is a figure of speech where animals, ideas or inorganic objects are given human characteristics.

                When thinking of personification the children’s book Charlotte’s Web that I read in 2nd grade comes to mind. Charlotte’s Web uses personification in order to tell the story. However, the story is about a pig named Wilbur who is saved from being slaughtered by a spider, Charlotte, by spinning words into her web.
