meaning of "glared down" and "wide awake"

Nothing stirred on the African plains. The sun glared down and Hare crept inside the cool hollow of a baobab tree for his afternoon nap.
Suddenly he was wide awake. There was a boom, boom, booming in his ears. And it was getting closer. Hare peeped out from the tree nervously. Across the clearing the bushes snapped and parted, and out loomed a huge gray shape.




I know glare means "to shine brightly" but what is "glared down"?

Also please explain to me what "wide awake" means.

Hi! I think I can help you with your question We usually use glare down after something such the sun, as the sun is above us, so we add a direction down to modify how it glares. Here, wide awake means fully awake , though it has different meaning in different context.
