A personification is adding human characteristics to inhuman objects.
Ex. 1: The tree branch slapped me.
A tree can't literally slap you because it's not a human.
Ex. 2: The storm clouds gave an expression on disgust and animosity.
Clouds don't have human faces.
"Personification" is indeed the granting of human characteristics to nonhuman objects. Example: "The City WHOSE traffic is a mess" instead of writing or saying "The City IN WHICH the traffic is a mess"
