Copy definition into notebooks:


Anthropomorphism - Human characteristics and/or behaviors are applied to an animal

(You might be thinking that anthropomorphism sounds a lot like personification—and you're right. But here's the difference. With anthropomorphism, the object or animal is actually doing something human. With personification, the object or animal just seems like it's doing something human)
