“Inaction, no falsifying dream,” (Hughes), is an example of personification because when someone talks about dreaming, they are most likely talking about a human. This personification makes sense since the hawk in “Hawk Roosting” is actually referring to a human and the similarities of the evils within humans and hawks. Also, in the poem, there is imagery. “The convenience of the high trees,” (Hughes), is an example of imagery because it is allowing the reader to see the hawk sitting on a high tree waiting for prey. “My feet are locked upon the rough bark,” (Hughes), is also an example of imagery. The reader can not only see in their head that the hawk is in a high tree, but the reader can specifically see the hawk’s feet on the rough-textured tree
