Personification
Definition: Giving an object/non-human thing human-like qualities or characteristics.
Examples:
“The grass danced in the wind!”
Grass is an object/non-human thing, but dancing is associated with something that humans do, making this an example of personification.
This is another way to say that the wind was moving the grass so much that it looked like it was dancing!
“The sun played hide-and-seek behind the clouds!”
The sun is an object/non-human thing, but playing hide-and-seek is associated with something that humans do, making this an example of personification.
This is another way to say that the clouds hid the sun like humans hide behind things when we play hide-and-seek!

What still confuses you?
