Each of the following lines from "tonight i can write" contain examples of personification except.
A) the stars are blue and shiver in the distance
B) to hear the immense might, still more immense without her
C) my sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer
D) my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her
It has to be B. The others have non-human things doing human things. (stars shiver, sight tries, soul is not satisfied, has lost).
i just put. in my answer and it was correct thank you sm ♡
To identify which line from the poem "tonight i can write" by Pablo Neruda does not contain an example of personification, we need to first understand what personification is. Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities or characteristics are attributed to non-human entities or inanimate objects.
Let's analyze each line and determine if it contains personification:
A) "the stars are blue and shiver in the distance" - This line does contain personification because stars, being inanimate objects, are given the human quality of shivering.
B) "to hear the immense might, still more immense without her" - This line does not contain personification. It describes the immense might, which is not a non-human entity or an inanimate object.
C) "my sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer" - This line does contain personification because the poet's sight, which is an extension of himself, is given the human quality of trying and a purpose (to bring her closer).
D) "my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her" - This line does not contain personification. It describes the poet's soul, which is already a living entity.
Based on this analysis, the line that does not contain personification is option B) "to hear the immense might, still more immense without her."
