Which of the following is an example of personification? “…the desert is the best teacher there is.” “if what you found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.” “every second of the search is an encounter with god.” “the wind reminded the boy that there was the language of omens.”

The wind reminded the boy that there was the language of omens.”

Explanation:

Personification has to do with representation of a person in a sentence in an abstract form.

The statement "The wind reminded the boy that there was the language of omens.” is a personification. In the statement the word that was personified is "wind".

Wind according to the statement was reminding the boy of language of omen. This means the wind acts in place of a person to deliver the message to the boy. The wind acts in place of human being talking to another person hence it is being personified.

boldness and strongness. don't let others bully you, stand up for yourself

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
