Definition
The act of giving an inanimate object human like attributes. When used in poetry, it can be used to give an idea better by relation to an object or subject.
Example
The blade of grass danced in the summer breeze as the children played near the picnic.
Significance
Personification can be used to give subjects that aren't alive human like abilities to relate. The use of personification is also a way to give the subject a bigger meaning than just being there.
