...“Gore”, written by Sarah Ellis has many elements of suspense throughout the story. The suspense adds to the thrill and amusement of reading it, therefore making it an enjoyable story. One of the many ways “Gore” uses suspense are the moments of uncertainty and unknown that are created. An example of one of these suspenseful moments is when the author states “There are two, no, three of them. The faces are hooded and I only catch a glimpse but it is enough to make me step back in horror [...] They are inside. They are silent.” (Ellis 5). This moment is especially suspenseful as the reader is uncertain and does not know what these creatures are, or why they are here. It is unknown why they are horrendous and hooded and why they are entering Amy and Lucas's house, thus creating the effect of...

...Charles Dickens is considered one of the greatest authors of his time. In his well-know classic, A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens uses vivid imagery and strong diction to create suspense. Dickens uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of suspense in the passage. He immediately describes a “steaming mist” followed by a “clammy and intensely cold mist” moving slowly through the air. These phrases set the scene and overall tone of the passage. The mist allows the reader to create a dark and fearful image, drawing out fear and creating suspense in the passage. He also describes the characters as “wrapped to the cheekbones end over the ears.” The cold and dreary weather does call for warmer clothing, but the passengers of the mail coach literally...

...the characters David and Ebenezer Balfour and the characters Herb Clutter, Perry, and Alvin Dewey in In Cold Blood are dynamic characters because they all undergo a change within the novels. Furthermore, Capote and Stevenson use suspense to promote the character dynamics within the novels. Capote and Stevenson cohesively use suspense with irony, the theme of chase and the overall structure of their novels to illustrate the character dynamics. Suspenseful irony is used to show the change in character throughout the novels. Suspense adds to the theme of chase because the characters try to converge on something they are after. The structure of the novels plays to the authors’ use of suspense in their own styles. Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, Kidnapped, depicts the adventures of David Balfour in search of his inheritance in the perilous Scottish Highlands in 1751. David comes close to retrieving his inheritance, but his uncle, Ebenezer Balfour, has other plans for David. He tries to kill David by coercing him to climb a rickety, old stair-tower. David barely manages to make it out alive because his uncle has lied to him about the condition of the stairs thus the devious side of Ebenezer Balfour emerges. Ebenezer’s failed attempt to get rid of David calls for the use of his secondary plan involving the ship Covenant and Captain Hoseason. While David walked around the ship of the seemingly trustworthy captain, David noticed that the ship had set sail with him still on board. All...

...Tyler Paniagua Per.3 Honors literature 2 Mrs.Day Compare and contrast essay 2nd draft. The two short stories "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe and "The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson are two beautifully written stories that are very different.Although these stories are very different , both Poe and Jackson use numerous literary elements such as foreshadowing , mood , and suspense to drive their story further into an unsuspected ending and further draw in the audience. Each of these two stories use suspense to cause curiosity as if they want to urge us to further read their stories.In the summer people , after trying to get some kerosene once the Allisons decide to stay past Labor Day ,the kerosene man denies them by stating "Never after Labor Day. "Leaving the reader wondering what happens when someone stays after Labor Day . More suspense appears when Mrs.Allison attempts to call someone on the telephone , but the phone doesn't work , and previous to that , the kerosene man would not give the Allisons Kerosene. All this begins happening once they decide to stay after Labor Day . Poe and Jackson use foreshadowing to give us a vague idea as to what is going to happen next, but they do not give enough information to be sure . In "The Masque of the Red Death" , Poe uses foreshadowing as he describes the mysterious figure at Prospero's party when he mentions that the mysterious figure is wearing "The habiliments of the grave".

...The beginning of the extract, the characters are left "staring, subdued and wondering" which shows a sense of mystery and confusion within the family. They have been left in complete shock because of the event that has just occured. In the stage directions it says that, "Sheila is still quietly crying." This builds up the drama more and proves to us that the situation has really affected her. We can see this throughout the extract. She dislikes her father's comments. The stage directions show us this and Priestley has written her comments towards her parents to be angry and frustrated. Sheila is trying to make her parents see that what they did to the girl was wrong. She says, "I behaved badly too. I know I did. But now you're beginning all over again to pretend that nothing much has happened." It is evident here that she has been greatly affected by the girl's death and is irratated by what her father has said to her. Priestley has written in the stage directions that Sheila is "flaring up". Her anger is quickly building up and she is frustrated because of her parents' ignorance. At the beginning of the extract Priestley says that Eric is "brooding desperately", showing that he is distressed and finding the situation difficult and maybe thinking deeply about what has just happened. In the stage directions Eric "laughs rather hysterically, pointing at him". By insulting Birling, Eric is sure to provoke him and make him angrier. Throughout...

...“The Soul Selects Her Own Society”, by Emily Dickinson, talks about the power one person is capable of, not only pertaining to their own life, but the lives of everyone around and not around them. Suzanne Juhasz, a literary critic, talks about her opinion of “The Soul Selects Her Own Society”. She thinks each person’s power is larger than the power of the whole world, and the power of the world is less powerful than one person’s power. Everyone is the king or queen of himself or herself. She calls a person’s soul omnipotent, and also the majority of society. Even though one person has extravagant power, they live in a simple dwelling instead of a giant mansion or a palace fit for a king. She also says the soul is trapped inside its body like...

...University of Phoenix Detecting Media Bia HUM/114 The reported story of President Obama abandoning his campaign in Florida to deal with the state officials along the Atlantic Coast in wake of Hurricane Sandy was not clear but seems to be accurate. The information that was given from MSN.com did not seem to have enough depth. The story was short, but it seemed to lack what steps other than generators, food and water will be provided if needed. The areas that are currently being affected are areas that have public transportation. The families that relies on the city or state transportation system, what are they to do if they can’t evacuate? What safe havens are to be provided if any? The concerns of the President to worry about the people of his country, compared to just trying to win a consecutive term in office is very important. President Obama wanted everyone in the area to be safe and evacuate. The story did not address if the President was going to try and campaign after the storm, or if the concern of election weighed on him during this time. The news article did not express and further views from the world. No other perspectives were given in the story. The President assumed that this will be a long process to have these states up and running once the hurricane hits land. It has also been assumed “close coordination” amongst the government leaders that safety and security measures are in place after the storm passes over. The questionable assumptions that...

...walk away with. How that point or message is brought together and conveyed to the audience is what sets films apart from one another. Infamous movie producer Alfred Hitchcock had a way of putting together ideas that allowed his movies to offer entertainment, suspense, and relate ability all at the same time. Specifically, in the movie Psycho, Hitchcock uses certain emotional instabilities and mental dysfunctions within his characters to build his story line and add the entertainment and suspense resulting in a very successful film. Thesis: describe some of the disorders and relate to characters, is this effective in film, how they add to the plot….??? Need some suggestions on best way to put this Alfred Hitchcock details each of his characters with a specific identifying trait whether it is a legitimate mental disorder or just an internal psychological battle. The issues in Psycho range from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to more simple matters of struggling with self-acceptance. The variations in the instabilities provide the depth and relate ability to the film from the audience perspective. In the case of Norman Bates we first see what appears to be a kind, gentle spirit, who desperately wants to have someone to call a friend. As the film progresses Norman becomes this confusing character that the audience starts to feel bad for. We can’t decide whether he is doing the right thing by covering up his mother’s horrible mistakes or if his lying is equally as bad her murdering...
