Read the following from paragraph 8. “The ball drops to the ground at the boy's feet. It
lies there stunned, quivering, containing flight
beneath its smooth skin.”
Why does the author use personification in this quotation?
F.
The baseball game symbolizes the love of the family.
G.
The author is comparing the ball to a bird.
H. The author is showing the distance the ball has traveled.
J. The description mimics the boy's disappointment.

It would be either F or G

However I am leaning towards G because it is comparing it to how a bird flies and lands near a person. Showing it travelled like a bird and using animal traits to describe it

Explanation:

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
