This sentence contains a participle, correctly punctuated.
The phrase <em>hiding in the brush </em>is the participle in this sentence (and it tells us what the leopard was doing), and it is correctly punctuated - there has to be a comma after this phrase because it is found in the beginning of the sentence, before the subject <em>the leopard. </em>
Answer:
who's is this greg....hmmm
Answer:
Explanation:
This is an allusion.
It makes reference to a Biblical character that was swallowed by a large fish (some people say it was a whale. It wasn't). You can read the Old Testament version by reading Jonah. It isn't very long and should take you only about 1/2 hour.
It is a very apt allusion, because Jonah had to pray to the Lord begging for forgiveness before he was released from the stomach of the creature. I doubt any of the seamen knew what happened to him until he was released at the behest of the Lord.
This quotation conveys the same idea. No one knew there was life behind the wall until they heard the frantic noise.
