Personification

never be kind. Crane develops his poem by taunting the readers through the use of literary devices such as irony, personification and similes. In stanza two Crane utilizes the literary term, personification to exaggerate feelings. Crane talks for a while about men wanting to kill and then states, “glory flies above them”(9). Glory cannot fly but Crane allows it to by using personification to amplify…

stop to the monument. After we passed the trees that covered the monument from afar, the Washington Monument stood towering 555 feet above us (personification) as beautiful as ever. A circle of flags surrounded the monument and the White House, Capitol building, and the Lincoln Memorial were visible from the center. The view was breathtaking (personification). Taking in this view was the moment that my perspective on D.C. changed completely. I realized that I had thought that the capitol…

What would our world be without everything being related in a way? It would be a lot different than it is today. In “Human Family” by Maya Angelou and “Remember” by Joy Harjo, both poets use personification, hyperboles, and repetition, to show that everything is related in some way. Personification is one major poetic device both poets used in their poems. In “Human Family”, by Maya Angelou, she exhibits that “The variety of our skin tones/can confuse, bemuse, delight” (Angelou 9-10). When she…

“The Trouble with Television” and “Television” are stories with very similar central ideas (Electronic Media has filled a concerningly large amount of our free time). “Television” (by Todd Alcott) conveys the Central Idea with repetition and personification as the main strategies, resulting in the Poem falling into the fictional category of writing. On the other hand, “The Trouble with Television” (by Robert MacNeil) isn’t a Poem. It reads more like an article written for a Major News Company.…

They're different every time. "But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls..." This uses personification on how it says the darkness calls. We all know that the darkness does not really call to anything because it's not a person nor is it an animal. Another form of personification in this poem is when it says, “The little waves, with their soft, white hands” because it gives the waves soft white hands when the waves have no hands at…

The author says “physical exhaustion that haunted her body.” This is an example of personification, giving the exhaustion a human quality. She is exhausted from being capsized about her husband’s death. Furthermore, there is another type of figurative language used in the story. “Monstrous joy that held her” this is an example of an oxymoron and personification. The oxymoron is saying that the joy is so great, it’s almost as if it’s taking over her body. She is realizing…

article released on the 10th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. in the magazine of a religious organization. He uses many rhetorical choices through out the paper. Such as similes, irony, personification, repetition, simple recall and many more. Personification is used the most throughout the article. He uses it to help bring his article to life. “Time is our ally” he is comparing time to an ally although time could not be a physical thing it is showing that you can…

have been slaughtered and it can be simple mockery of the dystopian endless massacre. It may also be a way of propaganda. Also, inanimate objects can’t truly be kind, in other words what Crane also did with the verbal irony is to give it some personification in order to achieve the wanted result. Not only does that sentence not inform the reader of the horrors of war, but it says the exact opposite of what war is actually about. However, in this case “war is kind” because war represents death,…
