The type of figurative language used in the excerpt is Personification. When the author gives the sun a <em>human characteristic (pitiless sun)</em>, he uses the figurative language Personification to enrich the text.

Personification is a <em>figurative language technique where objects, ideas or animals are given human characteristics or qualities.</em> <em>The sun, for example, can't be pitiless, as well as it can't pity.</em> Only people can pity someone else or something because pity is a feeling or an attitude. Thus, the technique of Personification is used by the author.

That enriches the text because <em>the sun is given movement, action.</em> It seems like its incidence over those who face the drought, in the excerpt, <em>is stronger and intentioned</em> because of its Personification. The author is able to<em> express the character's feelings and impressions</em> without saying it literally. The figurative language creates <em>an image</em> and is able to express more than if the author had used descriptive language. The text adopts a <em>poetic tone</em>, which can cause the reader to <em>perceive feelings and sensations</em>. Hence, the text is enriched by the use of the figurative language Personification.

What are some reasons a play is divided into acts and scenes
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

In a performance or a drama, acts and scenes are vital in sequencing or separating the narration or story into manageable parts for the audience, the actors, and the people working behind the curtains. The division of the performance is also important for ensuring a good flow of the narration or story itself.

Explanation:

The act and the scene are both visible in the play’s script and performance. For instance, in script form, both the act and scene headings are styled with capital letters in order to have a visual and distinct separation of one progression to another for the actors as well as the other people involved.
