* The wind: "The wind, which had been whistling a mournful tune all day, suddenly broke into a wild, joyous shriek." (This gives the wind human-like emotions and actions.)
* The trees: "The trees stood up like sentinels, their branches reaching out as if to welcome the dawn." (This compares the trees to guards and gives them a sense of purpose and intention.)
* The house: "The old house, with its gabled roof and dormer windows, seemed to be smiling down at them." (This gives the house human-like qualities, including the ability to smile.)
* The brook: "The brook chuckled merrily as it danced over the stones." (This gives the brook the ability to make sounds and act with human-like emotions.)
* The sun: "The sun dipped down behind the hills, painting the sky in a blaze of crimson and gold." (This describes the sun's actions as if it were a painter.)
These examples show how L.M. Montgomery uses personification to create vivid imagery and bring the natural world to life. This technique helps to make the story more engaging and adds a layer of depth to the descriptions.
