Is there any personification in any of these sentences?...
I remember the whispering winter wind waking me up in the middle of the night.
I remember the crisp crunch of snow under my feet, creeping quietly.
I remember going on stage, hearing the beautiful notes fill my mind.
The whispering winter wind.. is the only one
Yes, that's one ... and it (the wind) also "waking" is personification.
What about the snow "creeping?"
Sra
Yes, there is personification in all three sentences.
In the first sentence, "the whispering winter wind waking me up" is personification. Here's how you can identify it: Personification is a literary device that attributes human characteristics or actions to non-human entities. In this case, the winter wind is given the human action of "whispering" and the ability to "wake someone up."
In the second sentence, "the crisp crunch of snow under my feet, creeping quietly" contains personification as well. The snow is personified by being described as "creeping quietly," which is a human characteristic.
In the third sentence, the personification is found in "hearing the beautiful notes fill my mind." Notes, which are typically non-living objects, are given the ability to "fill" someone's mind.
Remember, when looking for personification, pay attention to descriptions or actions that are typically associated with human qualities being applied to non-human things.
