I'll solve this personification worksheet by identifying and underlining the examples of personification in each paragraph. Personification is a literary device where human qualities or actions are attributed to non-human things, like animals, objects, or abstract concepts.
Let me go through each paragraph one by one:
Paragraph 1:
- "The leaves danced in the wind" - Leaves don't literally dance; this gives them a human action.
- "the sky darkened" - While this could be literal, it's often used poetically, but not clearly personification.
- "the trees looked at him with caution" - Trees don't have eyes or the ability to look or feel caution; this is personification.
Paragraph 2:
- "watched the books run off the shelves" - Books can't run; this gives them human movement.
- "the pages leapt out at her" - Pages don't leap; this attributes human action to them.
Paragraph 3:
- "The road talked to him" - Roads can't talk; this is personification.
- "his shoes ate the road so fast" - Shoes don't eat; this gives them a human action.
Now I'll provide the solution by indicating which parts should be underlined as examples of personification.
The personification examples to underline are:
1. "The leaves danced in the wind" and "the trees looked at him with caution"
2. "the books run off the shelves" and "the pages leapt out at her"
3. "The road talked to him" and "his shoes ate the road so fast"
This completes the task of identifying personification in each paragraph.
