Personification-Giving human-like qualities or actions to a nonhuman object.

Another example of personification is, "The tree thrust its fingers into the pond." As everyone knows, trees don't have fingers they have roots. This example shows that the trees roots were growing into the pond. This shows how human qualities or actions can appear on a nonhuman object.
