Explanation

The quote that I have chosen is a good example of personification because the choose of words creates a calm soothing atmosphere. The author used the air as word which is giving human qualities "the (air) was soft and sweet".

Significance
Here Stephen king creates a calm soothing atmosphere as the man who loves flowers presents soft and sweet. In fact, when an author tries to use strong words, these words represent spoken reality. Besides appearance of two characters also adds to a sexual charge of atmosphere

"Some unknown time later he slipped the hammer back into his inner coat pocket and backed away from the shadow sprawled on the cobblestones" (460)

Explanation:
This quote reveals personification because the human trait "sprawl" was used to describe the movements of the shadow. This use of personification provided the reader a better image of the scene. 

Significance:
Atmosphere: The mood of the story begins with a young man in a beautiful spring day that is so in love it radiates off him. After he has murdered the woman who he had mistaken as Norma. The scene shifts into a dark night hiding the crimes of a man that has committed murder.

Personification is giving human characteristics to something that is non human. "Jitter", a noun which is typically used to describe nervous and anxious humans was used in this story to describe an inanimate object. Stephan King repeatedly does this in story to create images in your head. This is significant because it contributes to imagery. Imagery helps us connect with stories better and helps to set the mood. Personally while reading the quote I chose, I could vividly picture a cigarette in this mans hand however if he said something less personified, it would be harder and the image in your head would be less clear.
