Question

Whats a literary device or analyze this text

She was still crying when I finally glanced over
there again. Crying quietly and heartbrokenly and
hopelessly, all to herself, under the gay big brim
of her best hat.

Answer 1

Diction is a big literary device, the author uses words to create a melancholy feeling. Crying, heartbroken, hopelessly; are all words to depict a depressing scene.
