Question

Which of these is an example of personification?

1. The stars winked at me.
2. The alligator's teeth are white daggers.
3. The fish swam across the river as if it was dancing.
4.The blanket was as white as snow.

Answer 1

Number One! It is personification because it gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, and in this case it is implying stars wink like humans (meaning the stars are twinkling in the sky)!

BTW: The second one is a metaphor, third and fourth are similes!

Answer 2

1 because personification is when a thing is given a human quality
