How does the point of view create suspense in this passage? Mike’s campsite was on the other side of the raging river. Mike glanced at the setting sun and guessed that he probably had about half an hour of daylight left. After that, he was doomed to stumble around in the dark. On any other day, this wouldn’t have been a big problem. He would have easily crossed the river using the bridge made of ropes. But after many years of use, the ropes had finally given way. Now Mike was left stranded on the wrong side of the river. There was another bridge about a mile upstream, but it would take him more than an hour to get there. Not to mention, he was pretty sure that he would lose his way on the unfamiliar track. He had to make a decision soon.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
