The author uses personification very briefly in the text. However as I read, I found some examples of it in it. The author mainly uses it to describe the feeling, mood, or tone of the scene. For example, on page 299, the main character, Tris, sees a person who tried to throw her off a ledge to her death. She says, " Pain stabs my stomach when I see him." Pain is a nonliving thing, and should not be able to stab her. The author used it to signify that she is nervous about seeing him. Another scene is when Tris is talking to one of her leaders. She says something a bit embarrassing and blushes. Tris explains, " Heat rises to my face." Again, heat is not a living thing, and can not rise. Unless it is in temperature. The author uses this to show that she is embarrassed in this scene.
