*THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD* HELP!
I don't need anyone to write the exact answer, I just don't understand the personification in the following question:
Explain how Hurston uses personification in the following passage:
He almost got fat and they took great pride in him. New lies sprung up about his free mule doings... he ran Mrs. Tully off the croquet ground for having such an ugly shape... caught up with Becky Anderson.. to keep his head out of the sun under her umbrella... But way after a while, he died. Lum found him under the big tree on his rawbony back with all four feet in the air... He had seen death coming and had stood his ground and fought like a natural man. He had fought it to the last breath.

personification is when you give human like traits to non living items. (if you still cant figure it out, let me know and Ill help you out)

Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.
"He had seen death coming and had stood his ground and fought like a natural man." is the mule fighting like a man against death but mules can't fight like men, they are mules, they fight like mules.
That is probably your answer.
