This is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a comparison to show how two things are similar. That would be metaphor, if the area really isn't a sauna. Metaphor is naming something to be something other than what it is, usually for emphasis or better description. For example you might step into a greenhouse and say, "Wow, it's really hot and humid in here!" A greenhouse is not a sauna, but if you say, "It's a sauna in here!" you are emphasizing the heat and humidity -- and with fewer words.

Differentiate clearly between parts of speech and figures of speech?

The parts of speech are also known as lexical categories, and they are the groups of certain types of words based on their function in a sentence. They include nouns, verbs, articles, pronouns, conjunctions, adverbs, prepositions, and participles. Figures of speech are words or phrases that have a less literal meaning and are used for literary effect instead of for meaning. A list of many figures of speech are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figures_of_speech

Moonlight prepared to bathe in the pool of dew drops is an example of what litery device?

Sounded at once the bow; and swiftly flies The feather'd death, and hisses thro' the skies" -Dryden's translation of the Aeneid (drkmasokan@gmail.com)
