    Achebe is using the Literary Element of personification here. Personification is here you give an object human qualities. In the excerpt, Achebe states: "Evergreen trees wore a dusty coat of brown." Can trees wear coats? No. A tree cannot put clothing on, so the tree has been given human qualities.
