Gender and personification.

Personification is a figure of speech. Speech means our dialogues; we say that in many ways. A figure of speech is a way of speaking our mind. In a personification a nonliving thing or idea or concept is supposed to have life and intelligence like human being.

For example if we say , “The earth is such beautiful that there is nothing like her”. Notice that I have used here her, not his. His is masculine and her is feminine in gender. Here comes the question of gender. You must understand how earth has been personified here. Earth is neuter gender, but here since she is an epitome of beauty, she is a personification of a beautiful girl, a beautiful woman or a beautiful mother. More examples are moon, earth, spring, nature, freedom etc.

=>Now see this example, The sun is burning everything with his scorching heat. Here I have used his instead of her. 

Why? 
Because the sun is epitome of strength, like a father, a masculine in gender.  More examples like this are summer, winter, death, flood, volcano, death etc.

Always remember that a neuter gender when supposed to have life, it is a Personification. Sometimes when a living thing like a tree or an animal is imposed the quality of life and intelligence, it is a personification.

Example: The dog sacrificed his life for his master.

Example: The flower saw the girl and thought she could be her friend.
