Personification is the attributing (giving) of human characteristics,


thoughts and/or feelings to something that is not human.

Consider how personification can add to a description.


Adjectives to describe emotions
Write a list of synonyms for each of the feelings below. Your synonyms can
be slightly different emotions, as long as they are clearly linked to the
main emotions listed.
Feelings:
• Happy
• Sad
• Angry
• Fearful
• Surprised
Using human emotions to create personification

Adding an adjective that describes a human feeling to something not


human creates personification. For example:

The stubborn door closed once again.


Agitated, the brambles scratched at my skin.
