Question

Can someone explain why these sentences are personification from the most dangerous game: 1 "Cant see it," remarked Rainford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it passed its thick warm blackness upon the yacht.

Answer 1

This is personification becuase, it is referring to the tropical night as "it passed its thick warm blackness upon the yacht". In reality, a tropical night can't do that.
