Anthropomorphism and personification are two very long words some people (you know who you are) love to bandy about, sometimes in the wrong way.
For the record--anthropomorphism is all the talking animals you have ever seen in a cartoon, or in a children's book--or anyplace else. Making animals talk as if they were people, or dressing them in clothes and having them go to school, drive a car, or perform a human job of some kind--all of this is anthropomorphism--to make them into people.
Personification means to make an idea, particularly an abstract (can't touch it, or put a "shape" on it) concept, into a person. One example of personification is the Statue of Liberty. Another is the image of justice as a blindfolded woman with a balance scale and a sword. That is what we think justice would look like if it were a person. The concept of personification also applies to a depiction of the same kind of abstract concept in words--as in a poem or myth.
