c."Real clockwork is quite mysterious enough." Description.
d."I wish I had a child as sound as a bell and as true as a clock." Simile .
e."Time is running out ,like sand in the hourglass." Simile.

Bonus🙃6)this story works like clockwork, because almost every single character is a round character and it doesn't work like clockwork because there are kinda two worlds and the characters change throughout the story. The author chose to do this because he probably wanted to be more interesting and not like other authors writing about the same thing, he chose something interesting. And who knows , maybe there was a clock in his room.
