"Death of Mother Nature Suite" and Personification

Great work today...all the classes really got the ideas of personification quite well. Remember that personification is when we give a non-human object a human trait, ability, or action. Some examples from the song:

"...she ruled the Earth with love..."
Here Mother Nature is ruling like a king, queen, or president. This is a human thing.

"And now she's gonna die!"
Mother Nature can't die because it doesn't have a heart like us and isn't really living.

"We've strangled all her trees..."
Trees can't be strangled, but people can. This shows that people are killing trees...it's done in a violent way.
