Define the term Personification.

A personification is
a literary term, a type of metaphor in which inanimate objects or abstractions are
represented as a person or with human characteristics. It can include a description in
which the object is said to be human ("The tree smiled, held out its branch, and said
'Welcome  home.' "); or just have similar characteristics to a human ("The wind blowing
through the tree whispered to me.") Other examples would include giving life to an
abstract quality, such as Father Time, Mother Nature or The Grim Reaper; or representing
something, such as a work of art, as a person.
