Respuesta :

I think the answer is B

The viewpoint of the excerpt is explained in option (B): " He uses an image of a sun that “will rise no more” to show that he views his surrender as something sad that will bring about a dark period."

What is the viewpoint of the excerpt?

He expresses the depth of his sadness at having to give in by using a lengthy metaphor. The extended metaphor, in this case, is the sun, which represents their waning optimism and unrealized future.

The text does contain a simile, it's true, but it doesn't characterize the section in the same semantic and stylistic ways that this metaphor does.

It exudes finality and a lack of optimism for the future. As I already stated, the sun represents their contentment and wealth in this place.

Black Hawk will never again be able to truly view the sun because his people have been completely vanquished and driven off their ancestral lands. That was the last time he was able to do so.
