Answer:
1. "all the ten million things I had to do"
2. "The wind kissed my face"
3. "After I had finished all the ten million things I had to do" is an introductory phrase, which requires a comma.
4. "Halfway to Taryn's house I realized just where I was going: to Taryn's house."
5. The tone goes from being lighthearted and fun to frightened.
Explanation:
1. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement. In the first sentence, "ten million things" is clearly an exaggerated statement.
2. This is personification as wind is a non-human object "doing" a verb.
3. Introductory phrases require a comma after them.
4. This phrase is humorous because she doesn't realize where she is going until she's halfway there.
5. The tone in the passage is pretty lighthearted until the last sentence, which switches to a more frightened tone ("most terrifying thing").
