Learning is a continuous process and here is something that I learnt today.
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human qualities, traits, characteristics or form to Gods, animals, objects or natural phenomena. Eg: Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, etc.
Personification is the embodiment of a particular characteristic or quality. Eg: If dogs are man's best friend, diamonds are women's best friends. (Diamonds personified as friends)
Exemplification is just the act of representing as a person, such as speaking of the sun as 'he' and the moon as 'she'. Eg: The Titanic was such a huge ship that 'she' carried almost a mini city.
Anthropomorphic Personification - Eg: 'Agni' is the Anthropomorphic personification of fire.
