Pathetic?

"Pathetic fallacy is a special type of personification, in which inanimate aspects of nature, such as the landscape or the weather, are represented as having human qualities or feelings" (Hamilton 40)."

I never heard this term before so I did learn something new from reading this section. I didn't understand why it would be called "pathetic," maybe because the personification wasn't very in depth, like saying it's a sunny day doesn't always imply that the mood is happy or calm.
