In analyzing the author's use of the words "precipitous" and "embittered," these words convey a foreboding tone. "Precipitous" suggests a steepness or suddenness that can imply danger or an alarming change, while "embittered" reflects a sense of bitterness or deep-seated resentment, often associated with negative experiences.

To create a greater sense of dread than the word "dark," a writer might use the word "opaque." This word suggests a lack of light and visibility, enhancing the feeling of dread and uncertainty.

Similes and metaphors are similar in that both compare two unlike things. A simile uses "like" or "as" to highlight similarities (e.g., "as brave as a lion"), whereas a metaphor directly states that one thing is another (e.g., "time is a thief").
