The literary device used here is anachronism.

Explanation:

The person here is said to have been 'wobbled' on to the floor.

This is not an action that a human is often portrayed as doing anywhere so it does not really fit human description but shows a form of action that happens to things.

This suggest the situation and how bad the fall actually is.

It also suggests that the situation and the tone of the passage is rather comedic and used in a sense that is strategically that way.

Write about a time when you successfully kept a News Year's resolution- or write about why you don't make New Year's resolutions

a_sh-v [17]

Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions:

The thing about New Year's resolutions is that it's similar to saying "I'll do it tomorrow". Some people say "hopefully next year I lose weight and exercise", see it sounds like a nice goal, but half the time it's just a method to push doing it farther back. It's not supposed to be a deadline that you extend and I get tired of seeing people do that because that means they won't do it here and now.

If you want to get something done, do it now. Not tomorrow, not the day after, and definitely not next year. If you have the time to dream to do this next year, then why can't you do it now? (This applies to the people that truly have time to make these improvements and meet these goals.)

Sorry if this isn't the best, but I hope this helps.
