Read the excerpt from The Green Gables Letters by L. M. Montgomery.The woods are getting ready to sleep—they are not yet asleep but they are disrobing and are having all sorts of little bed-time conferences and whisperings and good-nights.What meaning does the use of personification convey?

The woods are personified as if they can get dressed, whisper, and say good-night. “Disrobing” suggests the trees are shedding their leaves, while the conferences and whisperings evoke the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind. So the description poetically conveys trees losing leaves and making noises, rather than literally being tired or talking.
