This is a Hyperbole because it is an extreme exaggeration because he doesn't really have the face of death but they say that because he is so scary or intimidating. And this affects the reader because it helps shoe them how scary he is. And the third figurative language is "I cant go on. My stomach is bursting.."(Wiesel 87).
