[ Answer ]


Breath


[ Explanation ]


Personification meaning: Giving "things" human characteristics and traits

Personification Eg: The wind whispered her name

This is personification, because we are giving the wind human abilities and traits. Wind can't actually whisper someones name, o this is an example of personification.


"Although thy breath be rude."

This is example of personification because breath can't actually be rude. The tooth is taking on a human characteristic, by "being rude."

"Person"ification

Notice the word person, in personification. This can help you remember that personification is giving things human characteristics.
