==[|hear it again]== ===A figure of speech in which the author presents or describes concepts, animals, or inanimate objects by endowing them with human attributes or emotions. Personification is used to make these abstractions, animals, or objects appear more vivid to the reader.===

**__Examples:__**
===In the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast, the usual house hold items have human characteristics. The candle stick holder, the tea cups, the wardrobe, etc all speak, have feelings and can move and dance. This creates the story to be magical and have a fantasy theme.=== == "Tweens." __JUF: Tweens: Movies: Beauty and the Beast__JUF: Tweens: Movies: Beauty and the Beast. september 25 2007.

===Another example is in the novel The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, by CS Lewis. In this novel trees and animals such as beavers and lions speak and have human feelings. This makes the novel what it is because they kids find themselves in another world which is full of adventure and fantasy.===
