In Cabeza de Vaca's journal, the phrases "it was November," "near dawn," "two hours after nightfall," and "the following day at sunrise" suggest that, the journal entries were very detailed.
Answer: Option A.
Explanation:
Cabeza De Vaca was a very well known Spanish explorer. He is widely known for his record breaking journey to the ‘New World’, not to forget, he was the only one survivor of the four travelers.
Cabeza De Vaca’s most famous journal is all about his disastrous exploring experiences to the west. If we have a look at his journal, we will notice that it’s a long monologue which provides each and every single entries in a very detailed way.
The journal includes the exact date, time, and location. For example, the very beginning line starts with ‘On the 27th day of the month of June, 1527’, apart from this, ‘two hours after nightfall’ describes the time. Throughout the journal such acute details are provided by the writer.
In lines 9-12, symbolism is applied through the image of fire. The “glowing” fire signifies the narrator’s dimming youth, as its dull embers will soon expire and turn to “ashes.”
In line 4, Shakespeare uses personification, "sweet birds sang". Birds cannot sing but he was telling us that the birds were chirping and it sounded like a song.
In line 6 and 7, Shakespeare uses personification again. He says, "As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away". This is a personification because the night cannot "take away the sun.
All of these figurative language examples make the poem easier to read and visualize what Shakespeare is saying.
