In "The Phantom Tollbooth," personification is used to bring inanimate objects and abstract concepts to life. For example, the character of the Dictionopolis, where words are treated as living entities, showcases personification as words engage in conversations and possess personalities. Additionally, the character of the Senses Taker, who captures Milo's senses, embodies the idea of sensory experiences as tangible beings. These examples enhance the whimsical and imaginative nature of the story.
The senses taker tricks Milo, Tock, and the Humbug by convincing them to play his sense-removing game. He pretends to help them with their mission but actually just wants to steal their ability to think and reason. Once they agree to the game, their senses are taken away temporarily, leaving them vulnerable to his deception.
There's a great economy out there. Go out and get a high paying job as a CEO of a large company, or a tollbooth taker like my friend Willie and pay off your debt like a real man... with hair on your chest.
