touching the void paragraph

Personification is used when Joe falls down the mountain face and falls into a crevasse, mainly to show the physical results of the fall saying that the ‘pain flooded down‘ and talking about how his knee had ‘exploded‘ which gives the audience a good view of how much it must’ve hurt. He also mentions quotes like “I thought of it as something living something which lived through crawling into my body.” This makes the reader have a feeling of what the character says it feels like. joe also says that his “leg got in the way like a pestering child, making me irritable, as if it were something I ordered around and it stubbornly refused to obey.” Joe uses personification.
