What literary device is this who nothing hurt withal hissed him in scorn?
personification. It is giving human-like qualities to something non-human.
The happy clouds scanned the ground beneath them is an example of what?
The clause "the happy clouds scanned the ground beneath them" is an example of the literary device of personification. Personification is the attribution of human form or characteristics to some inanimate thing. In this sentence, inanimate clouds are described as "happy" (a human emotion) and as "scanning the ground" (a human faculty). Clouds of course do not actually feel "happy" or "scan the ground," but the author uses the device of personification to lend a human quality to a scene and to forge a certain mood.
What is the type of figurative language in which nonhuman subject is given human characteristics?
I believe the type of figurative language in which an inanimate object is given human characteristics is anthropomorphism.
What is a personification in star girl and the page number?
In the book "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli, a personification is a literary device where human qualities are attributed to non-human entities. An example of personification in the book is when the author describes the wind "whispering secrets" in Chapter 5. This can be found on page 32 in some editions of the book. Personification helps create vivid imagery and adds depth to the storytelling by giving life-like characteristics to elements of nature.
Why were the Ferengi so attracted to human women in Star Trek?
That's just a standard sci-fi pulp plot device to create tension and potential drama. In reality, there's no more likelihood of an alien race being attracted to human females than a human male being attracted to a baboon female.
