    One story that has personification is The Night I Followed the dog. One way of personification it has is, the dog jumped out of a limo wearing a tuxedo. Another one is the dog walked into a club called the Doghouse. Another way it has personification is dogs can't dance. Well thats it. Thats my way of personification. Bye.

    One story or movie personifacation is in Spongebob. Because Spongebob is a sponge and a sponge doesn't talk neather does a starfish. So the movie uses personifacation in it.They could change it by makeing gary talk and mabey make a new character that cares for everything but can not talk so he can't tell people what he wants.And acts like a cat that walkes on four legs.

  4. One movie I have seen that uses personification is Alvin and the Chipmunks. They use it by having chipmunks talk and sing and they were clothes. Using personification can help the author more interesting because if that movie was just about chipmuks that movie would have been very very boring. So that is the movie I have seen that has personification. And that is how personification can help an author.

  5. One movie I have seen a moive that has personification is Handcock.Because Handcock can fly and people can not fly. He was industructable. So if you shoot him he would not be hurt. He was very stronge because he could pick up a car that was holding at least six people. So as you can see that is one reason that it uses personification.The next movie that usesepersonificationis The Jetsons. Because their dog can talk two any one.Another thing he can do is he can walk on two legs. And there dog can cry so that is not posiable to cry with tears for a dog. One way the author makes the storty using pesonification is by make s the inposeable things happen

    I have seen a show that is called "Curious George". He has a bed of his own. Another show I have seen with personification is "Air Buds". If an author didn't put personification in a story or movie then it won't be very interesting. Also,if they didn't put personification in a story or movie then it really wouldn't pull you into it.

  7. In the story "IT" someone says, "The sun is up and ready to go to work!" In the movie "Bratz" Cloe said," That bandage flew off like a bird!" Sometimes personification can be funny, sad,or maybe even happy. Personifications grab the reader's attention .That gets them more into the story. Personifications also make kids and adults laugh a lot sometimes.

    One movie I have seen with personification is "Beverly Hills chiwawa". The dogs talk to eachother. Another movie I have seen with personification is "Scooby Doo". Scooby walks on two legs,talks,and eats human food. If an author did not put personification the movie or story would not be that interesting. And get people into it.

  10. Movie:looney tunes
    book:scooby doo
    Personifacation is something that describes a non-human characteristic.It's just like a cartoon.
    Pesonifacation can help an author make a story interesting because it would be interesting to see cartoons or human doing non-human things.

    You can watch shows that have twwety bird in them.Tweety bird is a little bird with big bite. He catches putty cats in the act. He is unstopable. He is really cute but defends hiself when someone gets in his way. I do not think the auther can make tweety stories any better they are perfect they are engaging and interesting.
    GO TWEETY!!

  15. One movie I seen before is transformers 2 and it was a good movie that had alot of action and conflict in it and it was like my favirote movie of my whole life and it was my first time I've seen it to. The second movie I've seen is transformers 1 and it had alot of conflict and action in it to and it was the second best movie I've watched. And the new transformers I talked about is that it has a really funny part in bumble bee the car that transforms knocks out two of these other robots that were fighting each other and through them out. The third movie that is the best I've have watched was all kinds of action movies and they were good to the best one out of all the actoin movies that I like best is the movie called "Die or Die Hard" and that ahs alot of action in the whole entrie movie it has action or romance in it. It's all about action mostly and it's a really cool movie if you haven't seen it yet.

    1 story that I have read is Absolutely Normal Chaos. It said that Alex Cheevey is a boy that Mary Lue used to like and it said that his skin is always pink like strawberrie popcycles. A movie that I saw was Limenty Snickets and in that movie it said that the Uncle was as mean as a snake. This is 2 examples of personifaction of a book or movie that i saw or read!

  17. My name Noah. I have seen the movies cloudy with a chance of meatballs and have read the book harry potter and the scorceres stone. Each book has personification. Personification is when you give something that is not human, human characteristics. An example from cloudy with a chance of meatballs is walking chickens. An example of personification in Harry Potter is portraits talking.
