The speaker in "i started early took my dog" says, "and made as he would eat me up" for what reason does the speaker use personification to describe the ocean waves?

A.To paint a picture of an aggressive being

The speaker wants to show that the wave can be seen as an antagonist, or enemy. Waves can be seen as calming and gentle when listening to their sounds or watching the repetitive back and forth of the sea. This does not evoke the emotions the speaker is hoping for. By giving it the human trait of being able to eat, the wave becomes more powerful and dangerous.
