This is in fact a personification because the parent is making it seem as if the owl asked that question, which in reality, owls aren’t able to talk. Furthermore the child’s innocence is present in this poem as the girl has no idea that the owl is not harmful at all, but she is will scared and that is the reason the parent tells the girl a white lie to help her go back to sleep. This poem is not harming the child’s knowledge and instead, it is trying to help the girl. In contrast, Collin’s poem makes the students ignorant by lying about the historical events. By using personification, Wilbur states, “Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear” (Line 7) and “thus domesticate a fear “(Line 8).

The song and the poem are easy to compare, as they have many resemblances. They both take place in cold weather. This is shown in the poem, “A wind came out of a cloud, chilling/ My beautiful Annabel Lee;”(Poe)
The poem “My Fear” by Lawrence Raab, discusses fear and how it is seen in the perspective of the victim. The personification is when the speaker in the poem refers to fear as a man and calls it “Mr. Fear”.

Both stories have the same author’s style, setting and animals as characters, and a human and animal connection. But, the stories are different because of the poetic structure, tame or wild animals, and simple of sophisticated diction. First, the author’s style is similar in “Predators” and “A Blessing”.
