3. The authors thinks a artistic temperant is a waste of time.
4. The phrase in the sentence ' as sound as a bell', it means somebody is healthy
The phrase in the sentence ' as true as a clock' , it means somebody is perfect
The metaphor is her heart lift, this means she was sad.
5. The beginning:(pg 8) If you play with it carelessly it'll sping up and strike at you like a snake and put out your eye.- This is a simile because it says like a snake.
The beg/mid: (pg25) Instead there was a little piece of clockwork:just a few dogs and springs and a balance wheel, attached in subtle ways to the prince veins a tick-tick-ticking away merrily in perfect time with the lashing of his arms.- This is onamatapeia because it says tick tick.
The middle: (pg54) "can't you just wind him up." This is speech because it is someone talking.
The mid/end: (pg83) The higher she climbed, the more noise the clock made: a ticking and a tocking, a clicking and a creaking,whirring and a rumbling.mThis is onamatapeia becuase it makes clock noises.
The end: (pg91) 'It's full of miscellaneous bits and pieces, and they're not even connected up properly: broken springs, wheels with cogs missing, rusty gear- worthless rubbish, all of it. -This is a list of stuff in clockwork because it says cogs, rusty gears and rubbish.
Bonus
The way it is like a clock since the book goes forward and a clock goes forward.
It is full of clock parts and a clock is full of clock parts.
