    A Long Walk To Water By Linda Sue Park

    In this passage from “A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park, the tone of the author was dramatic.

Saying relentless is meaning the sun is consistently burning and the heat is very very strong. Using the word eternal is meaning all day the sun is shining at its brightest.…
