Hello @supercait10 I saw your post on Twitter so I came to try to help ^_^
in the first 4 lines, **it is talking about the Sun as if "He" were a person**
which option do you think would best fit that idea?

A. simile: sentence has "like" or "as" in it
B. metaphor: comparing two things using the word "is"
C: personification: talking about non human things as if they are actually human
D. symbol: when a word means something it is not (ex: apple to represent education)

I hope this helped! :) tag me if you need me to help clarify anything on this question ^_^
