OpenStudy (jack_prism):

Do you know what a personification is @LittleMissCreeper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so

OpenStudy (jack_prism):

Well a personification is where you give an inanimate object such as a tree human abilities like talking or dancing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jack_prism):

so out of all of those what do you think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am thinking 5 or 3 but i am not sure about the other ones

OpenStudy (jack_prism):

But in those sentences you do not know what they are talking about which automatically take those options away the only option that has personification is number one because breeze is an inanimate object that dosent actually breathe

Great! Can you help with one more question?

OpenStudy (jack_prism):

Yes of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read the following lines: He saw the gilded weatherwingspan Swim in the moonlight as he passed, And the meeting-house windows, blank and bare, Gaze at him with a spectral glare, As if they already stood aghast At the bloody work they would look upon. Which of the following statements best explains the effect of the personification in these lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. The imagery of the moonlight swimming creates a confusing environment. B. The description of the windows as empty eyes with a ghostly look creates a dark mood. C. The personification of the windows makes the day seem open to endless opportunity. D. The description of the meeting house as a blank face communicates a hopeful tone.

OpenStudy (jack_prism):

B because it gives the windows human like qualities
