1 and 2 are fine. You can use "departure" in place of "parting" if you wish.

3. Put a semi-colon after "character" instead of a comma. These are two complete sentences. Period after "assume". The first sentence is better than the second. Remember fewer words, more clarity.

4. "types of narrator one may find in a narrative text".

5. fine
6. Define any 5 figures of speech; provide examples of their use.
