Which literary technique does the author use in this excerpt?
The mythology book dropped out of my hand and hit the floor with a thud.
Mr. Brunner went silent.
My heart hammering, I picked up the book and backed down the hall.
A shadow slid across the lighted glass of Brunner's office door, the shadow of something
much taller than my wheelchair-bound teacher, holding something that looked suspiciously like
an archer's bow.
I opened the nearest door and slipped inside.
A few seconds later I heard a slow clop-clop-clop, like muffled wood blocks, then a sound like
an animal snuffling right outside my door. A large, dark shape paused in front of the glass, then
moved on.

She met my eyes, and a flood of memories came back to me—all the weird, scary things that
had ever happened to me, some of which I'd tried to forget.
During third grade, a man in a black trench coat had stalked me on the playground. When the
teachers threatened to call the police, he went away growling, but no one believed me when I told
them that under his broad-brimmed hat, the man only had one eye, right in the middle of his head.

Which literary technique does the author use in this excerpt?
Grover ran for the Camaro—but he wasn't running, exactly. He was trotting, shaking his
shaggy hindquarters, and suddenly his story about a muscular disorder in his legs made sense to
me. I understood how he could run so fast and still limp when he walked.
Because where his feet should be, there were no feet. There were cloven hooves.

She glanced at the minotaur horn in my hands, then back at me. I imagined she was going to
say, You killed a minotaur! or Wow, you're so awesome! or something like that.
Instead she said, "You drool when you sleep."
Then she sprinted off down the lawn, her blond hair flying behind her.

...
Before that—a really early memory. I was in preschool, and a teacher accidentally put me
down for a nap in a cot that a snake had slithered into. My mom screamed when she came to pick
me up and found me playing with a limp, scaly rope I'd somehow managed to strangle to death
with my meaty toddler hands.
In every single school, something creepy had happened, something unsafe, and I was forced
to move.
