Personification
- page 69: "The music hit you as you went in."
This would be personification because music cannot literally hit anyone. If anything, the music would be a shock to them when they are walking in since it is loud. This phrase is just one of the types of ways Hemingway describes the atmosphere of the characters. I think it really just is an abstract way to describe, but here it really is effective. The reader is able to put themselves into the place of the characters since Hemingway does such a great job of describing and making the book so real. Personification's purpose is to describe everything in a new way and to make the reader become a part of the story. I really think that this pharse does just that. When reading, I highlighted this because it stood out. I think it was a really good description. Personification strengthened this.
