Use the excerpt from the poem "Late September" by Amy Lowell to answer the question.

Beech trees in a golden haze;

Hardy sumachs all ablaze,

Glowing through the silver birches.

How that pine tree shouts and lurches!

The last line of the excerpt, "How that pine tree shouts and lurches!" uses personification. Personification is a type of figurative language where human qualities are attributed to non-human things, in this case, the pine tree is described as if it can "shout" and "lurch."
