As you remember from the previous post, I was talking about the children’s book that we made in English class. It’s about a pumpkin named Joe, who wishes to grow bigger like his older brother. He goes and tries ways to get bigger (standing on a bucket, sitting in a tree) but eventually learns that if you give it time, that you can grow big.

The hyperbole we use is when Joe is when he compares his brother’s size of that to a mountain. Personification is (obviously) Joe, a pumpkin, given life and animation, while in real life, pumpkins are completely inanimate.
