Personification

Today we learnt about Personification! Here are some examples we made up:
  1. The night guides the sky to dark.
  2. The stars tell a story.
  3. The sun tells a story as the moon rises.
  4. The pen remembers to change his ink because he has been dancing so much.
  5. The branch dances in the cold wind.
  6. The leaves fly in the wind.
  7. The morning sun dances on the water.
  8. The sky listens to the sea.
  9. The clouds dream of where the wind will take it.
  10. The stone grows as big as the earth.
  11. The sad pen cannot dance. 
  12. The moon tells the sun how bright it is.
  13. The stone thinks about how much it has been hurt that day.
  14. The ground dreams of being untouched and cleared.
  15. The mountain looks at the morning sky and thinks how beautiful it is.
  16. The calculator dances with the pencil because it realises it is school holidays.
  17. The dawn guides the birds in the morning sky.

 Please add a comment below and tell us what you think each personification means. For example - "The book dreams of becoming a best seller" might mean that the book wants to be read by thousands of people.

  13. The stars tell a story.
    This means when you join up the stars in your head you get a picture and then you can make up a story about that picture.
    This is number 39.

  17. (13)In Summer the stone feels the sun burning all day.In Winter its the frost.
    The stone is stepped on, driven over by cars and sometimes thrown accross the paddock.
    All these things hurt the stone.
    The stone can't do anything about it because its just a stone, that hurts too.

  23. Wow year 6! You continue to amaze me. Your next task is to include personification in your writing and you will soon notice a difference in the depth of your writing. I also love how so many of you were picking up on the personification in Limpopo Lullaby. Well done!
