Question
Which of the following is an example of personification?
- The wind blew
- The Wind howled in the night
Hint:
Personification is a figure of speech where non-living things and those living creatures except for human beings are treated as a person. It is an ornamental use of language to impose humane features and personal attributes on non-humans.
The correct answer is: The Wind howled in the night
The correct answer is "The Wind howled in the night".
Among the two options given, only the second one shows the wind - like an angry human being - howling in the dark of the night. Here, the wind - a non-living thing - has been provided with personal attributes - screaming and howling in the night - and thus, the sentence is expressing the simple meaning of the sound made by the furiously blowing wind in the night, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The Wind howled in the night".
