Personification

• when you give human qualities, emotions, or actions to something that is not human, like objects, animals, or nature.

• The story of a myth can become clearer and engaging by giving human traits to things like the wind, the sun, or emotions.

Why do we use personification?

Explain Nature: Personification helps make natural phenomena easier to understand.Teach Values: Myths use personification to convey cultural values in the form of character traits of the hero/heroine. Moral Lessons: Personification in myths teaches important moral lessons based on the story

Personification in "Akanidi the Bright Sunbeam"

• Natural elements like the sun are often personified as divine beings, like in “Akanidi the Bright Sunbeam.”

The Moral of the Myth

Moral: Kindness and love bring warmth and happiness. Greed, controlling others, and selfishness will lead to unhappiness or despair.

• Remember that a moral is the final message of the story that teaches us life values or what is right and wrong.
• In “Akanidi the Bright Sunbeam,” the Saami people use the personification of natural elements to teach the moral of the myth.
