A
Understanding Personification
The wind howled loudly through the night, as if it were a restless creature searching for something lost. The trees danced happily in the breeze, their branches swaying like gentle arms greeting an old friend. The sun stretched its golden rays across the sky, awakening the world with a warm hug. In this quiet town, the city lights winked and blinked as if they were alive, whispering secrets to one another.
