Answer 1

For instance, metaphor becomes personification with a little push: The leaves are dancers twirling with abandon. The "leaves are dancers" is a metaphor; the "leaves twirling with abandon" is personification personification: Lightning danced across the sky.
The wind howled in the night.
The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition.
Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name.
My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning.

Metaphors: A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't alike but do have something in common. A metaphor uses this similarity to help the writer make a point: ... Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks.

Answer 2

An example of personification would be in the nursery rhyme “Hey Diddle Diddle” where “the little dog laughed to see such fun.” Anthropomorphism means: “Making an object or animal act and look like they are human.”
