A personification lends human qualities and emotion to an object, animal, or idea. This whole poem is based on personification. The main idea is the eggs in the carton, coming alive and given human qualities and emotion to show how they would react if eggs really did have human emotion. An example of personification is, “Before they can jiggle/they are alone again,” (Lines 33-34). The author gives the eggs the quality of being able to jiggle, and being able to experience how loneliness feels. Another example of personification is, “They huddle/the eight/in the cold/in the dark and wait” (Lines 42-46). This is also a form of a rhyme scheme. She writes how the eggs are able to huddle together feeling the cold and waiting to see who is going to be taken
