Question

Explain the personifications in the sentence.

”Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it;...and
the house was still”

Answer 1

The sentence from the book personifies the town as 'tired' and describes 'the house as still', attributing human qualities to non-human entities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence ”Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it;...and the house was still” includes examples of personification, which is a figure of speech that attributes human qualities to non-human entities. Describing the town as “tired” personifies the town, suggesting it has human-like exhaustion. Additionally, saying that “the house was still” implies that the house is capable of being quiet or motionless, as a human can be.
