Answer:

A personification is a literary element used to give human attributes to non-human things. In "A Caged Bird" Maya Angelou writes, "The free bird thinks of another breeze  and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees". Winds don't sigh actually, but a personification gives it the human ability to sigh.

Which is the correct way to rewrite this phrase? my class’s garden my class’ garden my classes’ garden my classes garden
Serggg [28]
class's = owned by one class.
classes's = owned by multiple classes. (usually shortened to classes')


You can't shorter class's so class', however. Here's why:
<em>You can only shorten it when it's a plural noun that ends in an s or when it's a proper noun (names, places) that ends in an s.
</em><em>
</em>So unless there's more than one class, it's class's.<em>
