Literary term 5

page:27
Term:personification
Quote:But springtime reached her in there so she moved everything to a place in the yard where she could see the road.
why: this type of personification is used to display springtimes effect on Janie, and how it made her move outside to enjoy the sun. the good wheather and spirit of spring could also represent as incomeing change, which is something about to happen to her when she meets joe. it helps for the transition into meeting him also. this can also be called a type of forshadowing.
