"Clap" is an example of onomatopoeia. So, the descriptive sound of a clap would be "clap."
'Novel' is a common noun or an adjective (there are two uses) and as such, should normally only be capitalised when it is at the start of a sentence (as I have done for this answer). This is the case when it is a noun, as in example 1, or an adjective, as in example 2: 1. I have just finished reading the latest Margaret Atwood novel. 2. That's a novel way of eating cornflakes. It is possible that there is a very specific situation where it should be capitalised; for instance, there is a magazine called Novel, in which case a capital N is correct.
Yes it is, if you are writing about the novel or the attitudes of its author. However, a newspaper article about the novel or a Cliff's Notes guide to the novel would be a secondary source.

The sound of a sigh in onomatopoeia could be represented as "sighhh" or "ahh."
Gunshot wound to the head. On a medical chart this would be documented as... pt c/o GSW to head (patient complains of gunshot wound to the head). There would be other terminology to describe it. Where it entered or exited and what other trauma is present...but yeah...just...gunshot wound to the head.
If they are normal, they would be the same as if the wound was not there at all. But there is nothing that would be normal with gunshot wound. It would depend on where the wound is and how much blood is lost.
Try to imagine the noise a gunshot makes - most people say "pow," but some say "boom" or "blam" or other words.
No, because the sound doesn't suggest the meaning of the word.In this case, bang would be an example of onomatopoeia.
that's a different word, a gunshot wound to the back would incapactate a man. the gunshot to the back incapacitated the man
The sound of a gunshot is loud, sharp, and sudden, resembling a loud "bang" or "pop." It can be startling and can echo depending on the environment.
Thud!
The word skid is probably not an example of onomatopoeia. Skid doesn't really sound like what it describes. Screech is something that would be pegged as onomatopoeia.
I don't know that it would open any doors such as connections for your novel but you would learn a lot. By taking these classes you would learn the proper way of writing and it would make writing your novel so much easier for you.
Nod is not an onomatopoeia due to the fact that onomatopoeia is a word that describes a sound. Since a nod is not a sound, it would not fit under this definition.
I would think so
