How is language used to describe fear? (8marks)
I was in the middle of the Amazon, desperately running and escaping from
someone, I don't remember very well who, when I suddenly fell down with me
possibility of getting up (and couldn't get back up). I realised five snokes were
beginning to surround me as if an octopus was trying to embrace me. My skin
felt dirty and sticky as if I were covered with amniotic fluid inside an octopus
egg about to hatch. But my soul was as calm as that of a baby. I felt that
peace inside, then I knew. I was dead.
