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 sun’s child was all alone. what is the effect of this language? it conveys a historical tone. it develops a mood of expectation. it creates a mythological tone. it creates an unemotional mood.
