Answer 1

- Personification is when you give human characteristics to non-human things.
- Situational irony is irony involving a situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended, so that the outcome is contrary to what was expected.
- Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character.
- Paradox is a statement that initially contradicts itself, though when you think about it often makes sense.
- Mood is the overall tone of the piece.
