    Too hard....sounds like a "teacher explanation". That's why Dackel has to ask us. :)

    What took place in this descriptive sentence, that also takes place in humans?

    I think I vaguely remember something like that but you know, it was many, many, many decades ago and I haven't been asked this question for a looooooooong time. lol

    Meaning ... it might be a FORD [Fix Or Repair Daily} so call your dealership for a tow!


    The 'car' is personified as someone or thing that could 'die' as humans do .... we know that cars in fact, malfunction which implies that they can be fixed however as given in the above sentence the car has been personified and has in fact .... died on the side of the road.

    Really you need a different car!  But, I would tow her home and have a decent send-off!


     

    A boat is another one"She floats well"..or "send her to davy jones locker",,>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..for some reason they are given female status..

    Cars and ships are females! Hurricanes used to be females!
