PERSONIFICATION:

Definition: Personification is when the writer gives human characteristics to inanimate objects / non-living things.



The Wizard of Oz:


There are many examples of personification in The Wizard of Oz.

Some examples include:


1. “The tornado made its steady approach, chasing them down like a hunter after his prey. It was eager to devour them and anything else in its path” (p. 36). (Mobile) (Flash)

2.  “The house rose and fell on the angry wind, refusing to land, glad to be free from its foundations and the earth that bound it” (p. 42). (Mobile) (Flash)

3.  “Munchkin Land beamed and smiled at her, glad to have a visitor on its colorful turf. All of nature beckoned her to alight from the doorway and embrace the beauty and magic of the place” (p. 116). (Mobile) (Flash)
