Simile: The way in which this paragraph in the passage is being described is by comparing the winds to a howl, and the rain to a constant, weird dry beating sound, like handfuls of sand against the house. Article: "The Seventh Man"

" The army officer in charge, then capt. John Prior, reconstructed the ghastly scene for me, and the failed attempts in the medic tent to save Mayek's life. He then turned to his feelings of responsibility: ""I'm the one who placed the vehicles; I'm the one who set the security. As with most accidents, I'm not in jail right now.Clearly I wasn't egregiously responsible. But it was a comedy of errors. Any one of a dozen decisions made over the course of a two-mounth period and none of them really occurs to you at this time. Any one of those made differently may have saved his life. So I delt with and still deal with the guilt of having cost him his life essentially. . . . There's probably a day that doesn't go by that I don't thnk about it, at least fleetingly.""

I personally picked this quote because of what it's saying. Not only that, but you can feel something when you read it. It is almost really suspenceful. Not only that, but the quote seems to be telling a story of someone; Or what sombody is thinking about the situation that is happening.

" A huge wave nearly sweep me away"
Its a metaphor because it uses a form of exagerration

"But something ominous about them, something like the touch of reptiles skin-had sent a shiver down my spine." This is an example of foreshadowing. The seventh-man thinks something bad is going to happen. Another example of foreshadowing is " The waves were alive. They knew I was here and they were planning to grab me." The seventh-man gets a feeling that the waves are coming for him. This is foreshadowing for the typhoon wave that comes.

But something ominous about them, something like the touch of reptiles skin- had sent a shiver down my spine. My fear was totally groundless-and totally real. I knew instinctively that they were alive. The waves were alive. They knew I was here and they were planning to grab me. I felt as if some huge man-eating beast were laying on a grassy plain, dreaming on the moment it would pounce and tear me to pieces with its sharp teeth. I had to run away.

I think its personification because the author explains how the man in the story described the waves as a "man-eating beast" when the waves starting getting bigger because of the typhoon.

"Hurry, K.! Get out of there! The wave is coming!" This time my voice worked fine. The rumbling had stopped, I realized, and now, finally, K. heard my shouting and looked up. But it was too late. A wave like a huge snake with its head held high, poised to strike, was racing towards the shore. I had never seen anything like it in my life. It had to be as tall as a three-story building. Soundlessly (in my memory, at least, the image is soundless), it rose up behind K. to block out the sky. K. looked at me for a few seconds, uncomprehending. Then, as if sensing something, he turned towards the wave. He tried to run, but now there was no time to run. In the next instant, the wave had swallowed him.

This paragraph is the climax in the story because it is very important to know the details on how K. was killed by the wave. It was also the most interesting part in the story because the narrator's friend died, and it ruined his entire life.

“ I stopped having my terrible nightmares. I no longer wake up screaming in the middle of the night. And I am trying now to start life over again. No, I know it’s probably too late to start again.” This quote represents the antagonist changing during the story because in the beginning and the middle of the story he was feeling hurt because he felt like he let K die but no he has gotten over it and he is feeling better than he was before.

This is a simile because it compares handfuls of sand with the wind

In the passage "The Seventh Man" in paragraph 24 it states " The whole, huge space felt like a room without furniture, except for the band of flotsam that lined the beach". This is a simile because it compares the huge space being like a giant empty room.

"it wasn't a hallucination"

i belief it has a stronger meaning that maybe people thought he was crazy or maybe he was already past out

This was the the narrator epiphany he realizes that K's sinister grin was just and illusion and that K was truly innocent.
