Question

in this excerpt from the way to rainy mountain, the author uses language that depicts the sun as a human. he was very angry he threw the ring and it did what he told it to do, it struck the woman and killed her, and then the suns child was all alone. what is the effect of this language? it develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact. it supports the idea that the information is factual. it contributes to a mood that lacks any emotion. it reveals a tone of admiration on the part of the author.

Explanation:

Personifying the sun (giving it human emotions like anger) is a common trait in legends. Legends often use such imaginative and non - factual elements (like a sun that can be angry and take human - like actions). Factual information would not personify natural phenomena in this way. A mood lacking emotion would not have the sun described as "very angry". And there is no indication of admiration in the text.

Answer:

It develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact.
