~ anthropomorohism ~
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to nonhuman beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena. Animals, forces of nature, games, and unseen or unknown sources of chance are frequent subjects of anthropomorphism.
Back to the subject...
A simple recipe for humane execution
1.5 lbs of pure heroin disolved into 2 pints of water and an IV drip. |
The greeks called this "Anthropopatheia". Most people call all figurative lingo an "allegory" or a "metaphor". Good eye, for language there! I would use clorox for the goons rather than sliding out on heroin.
