Melanie’s favorite campsite is such a happy place. The wind whispers softly though the trees and the stream giggles as it splashed over the rocks. Which figure of speech or literary device does the author use in the passage

The literary device used by the author in this passage is Personification.

Personification is a type of metaphor that consists of giving human traits to something that is not human to describe a picture in other's people heads.

In the passage, 1) the wind whispers softly and 2) the stream giggles.
