13 is personification and
14 is a simile
<em>A term that has a non notation that would best contribute to a desperate tone would be;</em>
D. Clinging
<em>Embracing - To hold someone closely, usually associated with a sign of affection</em>
<em>Holding - To embrace, or hold with ones hand</em>
<em>Getting - To get a hold of, or to receive </em>
<u>Clinging, is to remain persistently and or stubbornly faithful to. Desperately clinging to someone. </u>
Under is the prepositional phrase. Remember prepositional phrases show location. Under ins the only word that does that. Good luck my man.
D. Hook. It is relevant to trying to 'hook' or reel in your reader for a great catch. ;)
An example:
<em>The creak grew louder. I whipped around and out of the corner of my eye, a shadow danced. I twisted back. I heard padding feet behind me. Desperate, I turned in circles as laughing began.....</em><em> </em>would that be captivating? Or what about:
<em>Yesterday was ok. We went to get ice cream. I got stawberry. But it fell on the ground. </em> Wouldn't you want to immediatly put THAT book down?
