Sagot :

Answer: Personification

Explanation:

Personification refers to the practice of ascribing human actions and behavior to non-human things such as objects and abstractions.

Here the moon was said to have ''looked down'' on the camp. This is a human thing to do and the moon as an object does not have to capability to look down on things so saying that the moon did this is an example of personification.
