You don't have to wait for me. It has an infinitive in it, so "wait." But there's no comma. Why?
Hello dear friends, It's just that I've finished my studies and am working as an engineer in a laboratory practice at the age of 27. (I was born here in Germany; my parents are originally from India.) At the same time, I have to write emails more often. I simply notice that my expression and…
I have written these two poems and would now like to know what you think of them and what I could improve. End of summer! Amidst the colorful trees a deeply sad picture of autumn unfolds. Leaves, once full of life, wither, die, and pass away, while gently whispering winds lament an extinguished sky. The…
I have to create a portfolio with a theme and I want to say the following: “It is also sponsored and recommended by many WRC teams…” I am concerned about the word sponsors Word highlights it in red and suggests "Sponsored." That sounds wrong to me. Can someone help me figure out the correct word…

I see it like RMDav, so no personification.
The walls do not threaten anyone, but the narrator fears (always) that they could fall down on him.
If you say, “it’s threatening to become a cold winter,” it’s not a personification either.
Would say yes, because here unlived things (the walls) are provided with a human property: they “threat”. Walls cannot be threatened by nature, as threats are a conscious act that can only be attributed to beings or thinking beings.
Threats have a different meaning here. This has nothing to do with a threat.
Yes, you’re right about it, threats aren’t meant here in the sense of a conscious threat. Nevertheless, there is still a personification here, because a human action (“three”) is transferred to the walls that cannot actually carry out any intention or action. The poetic language thus gives the walls an active role and strengthens the threatening mood.
Even if “dreaming” does not mean deliberate threat, it remains a stylistic remedy that lets unanimity appear alive – and that is typical of a personification. Please correct me. I can also be wrong
That’s what makes me trouble. Isn’t that a question of interpretation?
Threats have several meanings. “something threatens to happen” simply means that there are signs that it will happen. It is not an act and therefore no personification. A personification would be, for example, “the walls grow up” or “the walls bend over me” to remain in a threatening image.
I see the interpretation of the sounds presented. The lyrical I sneak up walls – nightshwarmers swamp in pierced halls, but crossed his corridor. The halls are loud. Why? Does the nightschwarmer cause the noise? Why are they on the road at night and why do they melt? What are the halls? Does this lyrical I think maybe the stones could be disintegrated from noise? I would support this in the interpratation.
No, that doesn’t mean threatening, but in the sense of announcement. The lyrical I perceive the wall as insecure, perhaps it sees stones roaring down.
Would say yes, because a wall cannot threaten itself.
Ne, looks like a rhyme at every 2nd sentence.
P. S.: I always say ‘night’;)
