The old witch’s fingers were icicles pale and long slowly drumming across the metal table in front of her.

The melancholy memory of us was like a blazing fire that was slowly and inevitably dying out as time sluggishly went on.

The red and brown leaves jumped off the old oak tree and gracefully danced down to me like petite ballerinas.

Every day I waited an eternity between meals with no snacks but my diet wasn’t working and I was still the size of a house!

You put them where you think they should go, and I will advise from there. (We don't do your homework on this site.)

U - that didn't help at all!

We are not allowed to do your homework. You have to do it and then someone will help you with it if it's wrong.

With that being said, I have to add this... why do you expect someone to do this for you without you even trying? And why can't you do it? But the biggest question of all... who is going to help you now with an attitude like that? Good luck.

I see that this is your first time posting at AMHD, so you may not know how things work. Wondergirl is correct, you show us what you think and then someone may coach you along. Try reading each sentence slowly and sense where/when you tend to pause.
