Hi
Please help me with this.
1.She braved the biting wind as she ventured to save her son. Is 'biting' here a transferred epithet? Or the wind is personified?
2. The village inhabitants were in the arms of sleep.
I think sleep is personified here. Can we also see this as a visual imagery?
3. Even the dogs failed to see the creature cunningly hidden (fearing the hunter)in the yellow brown scrub.
Here can 'cunningly' be interpreted as 'nervously'?
