Why use personification?

[Edit]
Consider the vulgarity of objectification. Personification must be its opposite: imagining that even an ash tray is worried about second hand smoke is the very stepping beyond the present and into the fantastic and literary that poetry promises.

Authors use personification to make stories/ poems more dramatic and interesting or to convey a certain mood. Personification also helps us to relate more to the object or idea that is being personified because it is easier for us to relate to something with human attributes.
