If we have this example that we find in a book, "The pencil screamed as Bill gripped it tightly during the test." Well, at least all the pencils that we've normally used over the course of our life, they don't tend to scream. However, the author has showed us, has told us that the pencil is screaming. So either we know that something weird's going on in the world, or the author is using personification.
True or False: Bill is most likely very focused and/or nervous about the test?
