I'm confused to what the question is?
Answer:
The quote is an analogy because she is comparing herself to a raft, floating in the dark, probably meaning that she feels like she is never getting anywhere and kept in the dark. The following sentence explains that she was alone and warned out, unable to find a home to stay in for a while, much like a wandering raft.
We form the perfect tenses by using the verb *to have* as an auxiliary verb and adding the past participle of the main verb. For example we form the present-perfect tense by using the present tense of have (has or have) and adding the past participle of the main verb.
Those helping verbs are named *auxiliary verbs* . And the common ones are to be, to have, and to do. They appear in the following forms:
To Be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been, will be
To Have: has, have, had, having, will have
To Do: does, do, did, will do
