The stitiching on Billy's favorite bear, Teddy, came undone and some of the stuffing spilled out. Billy sobbed while his dad sewed up the bear because he feared Teddy was in pain. Billy's belief that Teddy can feel pain and be hurt is known as:

Anthropomorphism: the attribution of human characteristics or behavior (such as pain) to a god, animal, or object (like a teddy bear).

OR

Autusm: Feeling sympathy for inanimate objects.

If you're looking for a literary answer, you're best guess is anthropomorphism.

If you're looking for an answer relating to psychological and social behavioral research, you're best guess is autusm.

Explanation:

You're next best guess, if both of these don't work, is empathy.

Hope this helps! :)

better now, by post malone

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
