Proverbs 1:20-22
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

I find it interesting that the writer describes Wisdom as a person. Why do you think that is? What does this mean to you?

Just from reading it without doing a lot of research, I would personally interpret it as speaking about the spirit of Wisdom. Since wisdom can be a spirit, it would explain referring to it in person form.

Proverbs 1:23-27
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Who or what are these verses talking about?

If we turn our backs on God, he turns his back on us. We will suffer as a result.

Proverbs 1:28-31
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices.

What do you think these verses are talking about?

When God turns his back on people, he will ignore their cries for help and will allow them to suffer the natural consequences of their own actions.
