The dangling modifier is "Running around the building, the bushes..." This means that the BUSHES are running around the building since whatever comes after the modifier is modified. However, we want the sentence to mean that the girl is running around the building, not the bushes. Therefore, we can rewrite the sentence in a way where the girl comes immediately after the modifier instead of the bushes. 

For example, "Running around the building, she was nearly blocked by the bushes." The pronoun "she" comes right after the modifier, which fixes the dangling modifier.

Hope I helped :)

Topic Sentence: Why did they go to the center of the Earth

In 1863, German teacher Otto Lidenbrock purchases the composition of an antique Icelandic adventure. From Within it, him and his nephew, Axel, discover a coded document in hieroglyphics composed by way of an Icelandic apothecary named Arne Saknussemm. Interpreting it, they have found the runes are headings to the central juncture of the earth. Saknussemm clarifies that he has effectively manufactured this excursion, which is causing the educator to have confidence in him.

Lidenbrock as well as Axel immediately head toward Iceland, as they ought to plummet through an Icelandic well of magma to arrive at the world's midpoint. Their lone open-door for the excursion is of late June, which is almost upon them. Axel does not necessarily have any willingness to go, however, Lidenbrock turns out to be unrelenting.

In Iceland, they employ a guide, Hans Bjelke, who is a duck tracker. The following three travel successfully through the fountain of liquefied magma and wind up drawing indeed closer to the central point of the earth, being subjected to numerous consequences and dangers upon the way, for example, potentially dangerous combustible gas.

It is a tremendous hole in the ground apparently immaculate by individuals from the exterior of the whole planet (but then again, actually they find out the abbreviation AS slashed into a tree). This subterranean world is illuminated by gas, which constitutes zapped. They are experiencing monster mushrooms in which grow to be taller than they are doing and an enormous sea, upon which they are travelling on one pontoon.

In this astonishing place, they find the evidence of species a far distant remembrance washed out on the planet above, for example, dinosaurs as well as multitudes of mastodons. The wanderers remain surprised when they look at what appears to be, through all the stories, to be a twelve-foot human, however, they are unable to select whether or not it is more gorilla or more human being. They would have preferred not to be looked at by this man-chimp or disturbed him, encouraged by means of unreasonable fear of whatever he or his congregating may do.

At the end of the day, their path through to the central point of the earth is obstructed by a stone slide. They are trying to utilize explosives to influence their path through, however, this aggravation makes the close in accordance with the ocean rush through the inauguration they have been attempting to make. The scurrying water is bringing them up from within a mountain for as long as they are shot away to the superficial world. At the moment when they recapture consciousness, they comprehend that they are, to tell the truth, in Italy and also that they have already been catapulted from Stromboli, the volcanic island near Sicily. At the moment when they get back, Lidenbrock is applauded in accordance with his associated scholastics and been thinking about undoubtedly the best investigator to ever live.

In the following lines: Darkness falls heavy on my head and slumber summons me to play. Describe the figurative language used. E
Art [367]
The figurative language used is Personification. This is Personification because darkness was given human qualities. The word 'darkness' symbolizes depression or emotional instability. 'Slumber summons me to play'  means that sleep is the only option to escape from reality and forgetting about responsibilities. The reader feels the emotion from this because it makes the reader imagine what it's like.
