Understanding Personification and Pathetic Fallacy
During the tumultuous times of the American Revolution, the weather often mirrored the mood of the nation. Storm clouds gathered ominously as soldiers prepared for battle, and the wind seemed to whisper warnings through the trees. On the day of the Declaration of Independence, the sky cleared just as the founders signed their names, the sun shining brightly over Philadelphia. These natural elements appeared to reflect the feelings and events of the era, adding emotional depth to the historical moments.
