"Eveline"/Personification

"All the seas of the world tumbled about her heart."  This is an example of personification because the author is giving the sea human-like characteristics.  "Eveline" is a very interesting story!  However, it is a bit sad!  In the story, Eveline does not have much of a voice.  She does what people tell her do to, and I feel that a little of that comes from fear.  This is because when she was little, her dad was very abusive.  He would abuse her brothers, and she would just have to watch.  However, he would threaten to abuse Eveline.  He never did, though, because she was basically the house keeper of the house since the mom was gone.  He needed her!
