Bonus

This story works like clockwork because, the story that Fritz tells is happens precisely and exactly just as we know that a clocks hours happen precisely and in a set order, for example we don't expect six o'clock to immediately follow after one o'clock, and it doesn't work like clockwork because the catalyst, Dr. Kalmenius carried on the rest of the story that was unfinished. I think the author chose to do this because you can build drama believing something dreadful is going to happen, because Fritz has told us it will happen.

Question 5

Beginning 
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Bit by bit they move, and tick us steadily on towards the grave.
Pullman is using a clock terms by using what the clock has done or performed 

Middle
she heard the chiming of the cathedral clock, and said “I wish I had a child as sound as a bell and as true as a clock

Mariposa wants her baby to sound like a bell and she is referring to the bell sounding really nice. 

End
For every tick there is a tock
It means that if you got something very good it means there will probably be something bad. 

2nd interquartile 
She is right inside the clock, at the very heart of the time  
She is at the very heart of the time because she is inside the middle of the clock,

1st interquartile 
I will come first and you wind up the future like clockwork
It means like he is looking into the future by using the time.


Question 4

The simile is she is comparing a bell and a clock with a baby and the metaphor meant like a sound like a bell and it actually means as calm as a bell 

Question 3

I think artistic temperament means that like enjoy and relax your beer and then we can have it tommorow in honor of tommorow or think that the land lord thinks that like when he says artistic temperament that he means he wants him to do something tommorow and that is why he says have one beer and then have one more in the honour of tommorow and the honour is that when he completes the thing he wants him to do something
I think the author means that artistic temperament means to the author that a job which people don't fuss a about

How they act
How they change
Their role in the story
What happens to them in the end
Karl Fritz Gretl
 
Karl is half minded like he has a fear and a thing he has to accomplish which means he is never calm under pressure situations

 Gretl is described like a protagonist.
