Answer:

It's a personification

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an object acting like a person.

"the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form" -that is the definition of personification

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a metaphor because “begged” is a figure of speech (the metaphor) that was applied to the wrapped gift but is not literal. for example, the wrapped gift didn’t actually beg to be opened.
