In the article “Why You Shouldn’t Be Terrified of This Never-Ending Stew” By: Justine Sterling the author cleverly uses personification to portray the stew or as they call “him” Stu. By using this literary device he adds personality to this dish which the author continues to back up with facts about it. Stu may not be a person but through personification we can see that it is much more than just a stew. It has been simmering for months and absorbed all the flavors that has been added to him just like a person changes and learns from the experiences they go through. This unique way of simmering has added layers upon layers of flavor and depth to stu and turned him into a stew worth tasting.The authors description of stu is very in depth which conveys the level of thought that went into making it and the depth of the flavors that go into it.
