Personification      

Personification is a writer's craft that gives an idea, object, or animal qualities of a person.

For example:  The large rock refused to budge.  The word refused is something a person would do. 

Underline the word that gives a quality of a person.

1.  The sun stretches its warmth across the land.

2.  The chair danced as the baby bounced to and fro.

3.   The darkness wrapped its arms around me.

Look at the words below. Try to give each word a quality of a human and write a sentence.
