In the following excerpt from an original drama, two friends (VIC and LENA) sit in a parked car outside a house where a party is happening.
LENA: Are we going in?
VIC: In a minute.
LENA: You've said "in a minute" for ten minutes.
VIC: The music's loud.
LENA: From here?
VIC: Yeah. It's like it's leaning over the porch, listening for us.
LENA: That's not how sound works.
VIC: The bass thumps its fist against the windows. The streetlight pretends not to see us. Even the steering wheel grips my hands like it's afraid I'll let go.
LENA: Or like you're afraid.
VIC: Same thing.
What is the function of the personification in Vic's speech (bass thumps its fist, streetlight pretends, steering wheel grips)?
