Answer 1

Answer:

Personification from the given sentences are mentioned below.

• Personification is a figure of speech. It is used to personify non-living things or inanimate objects.

1 ) Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name.

• Here 'last piece of pie' is a Personification because it can't call but it is calling her name.

2) My alarm clock shouts at me to get out of bed every morning.

• 'Clock' can't shout like 'a man' because clock is a material noun. So here 'shouting of clock' has been used as a Personification or clock has been used to personify as a human being.

3) He fought like a lion.

• 'Like' denotes Simile because here 'he fought' has been compared with 'a lion'. So the given sentence is an example of Simile. Simile is also a figure of speech.

• It is also a personification because he can't fight like a lion but he fought.

4) The study books are crying as I am not able to give the time.

• 'Books' can't cry, so here 'crying of the study books' is expressing Personification.

• As in the above sentence says that it is also a Simile.

5) The fire swallowed the forest.

• 'Fire' can't swallowed like a human being, so here swallowed expresses that it is a Personification.

6) The stars are dancing in the sky.

• 'Stars' can't dance, therefore here 'dancing of the stars' has been used as Personification.

7) Her beauty was like a fresh rose.

• 'Like', 'as', 'such' are used in Simile to compare between two dissimilar things, so the sentence is an example of Simile.

Answer 2

Answer:

The following is a list of the objects in the sentences that have been given personification:

Explanation:

1. A piece of cake calling Rita's name.

2. The alarm clock shouting

3. No personification.

4. the crying books.

5. the fire swallowing

6. the stars dancing

7. No personification.

• A literary device known as personification involves imbuing inanimate objects or non-human entities with human-like characteristics and behaviours.
• Because the subject being referred to in sentences 3 and 7 is also a human being, those sentences do not contain any personification because the inanimate object or the animals were merely the objects of the sentence.
• All the other sentences have objects or animals that are given human qualities.
