Answer:
Metaphor
Explanation:
A metaphor is a figure of speech that presents an implied comparison between a word or phrase to an object or action which literally has no relation. This figure of speech was used in this excerpt by Maya Angelou. For example,
1. The Black Southern Life was denoted as being harsh. There is a comparison of the attribute of harshness to Black Southern life, not because they are the same thing, but because there is symbolism between them.
2. The early morning was softened by nature's blessing of grogginess, forgetfulness, and the soft lamplight. Ordinarily, one may not see how the early morning can be softened. But that symbolism was used to denote the fact that the weather was friendlier in the morning time.
