Suspense In Ap Literature

How suspense is built up in ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ by Robert Louis Stevenson

Most prominent in Chapter XVI of Chains, Laurie Halse Anderson incorporates setting and disaster as a way to create suspense for the main character, Isabel, on her journey to inform the Patriots. In the middle of the night when Isabel makes her way to the snuff jar containing the keys to the drawer with the Loyalists’ names, she “held [her] breath as [she] lifted the lid…[and] forced [herself] to remain still and count to twenty” (Anderson 98). During this period when she is retrieving the keys, the author uses the library setting to create suspense through the risk required to do so. Therefore, since the moonlight illuminates a portion of the library, the risk of making sounds Isabel takes causes the reader to fear for the possibility of discovery.

Aside from her high voice and sarcastic acting, there is not much difference from the novel.

Her word choices allows for the reader's emotions to take control and understand the pain of Jeannette by bringing up something that the reader can relate to. Most people have got burned and she uses that to appeal to their emotions.

W.W. Jacobs creates suspense using a mysterious monkey’s paw. Ricky Lewis Jr. attempted to create similar suspense using different techniques. As told in the story in the book,”He took the paw, and dangling it between his forefinger and thumb, suddenly threw it upon the fire. White, with a slight cry, stooped down and snatched it off. ”Better let it burn,” said the soldier solemnly. “If you don’t want it, Morris,” said the other, “give it to me.”.”I won’t said his friend doggedly.”I threw it on the fire. If you keep it, don’t blame me for what if happens. Pitch it on the fire like a sensible man.”(Jacobs,108) Therefore, W.W. Jacobs fundamentally builds suspense with the dialogue between Morris, who owned the paw initially, and Mr. White, who was interested and curious on what the paw had to offer.

After a series of encounters, Willie learns that the homeless man was not what he seemed, but a man of wisdom. In the story, “Dark They Were, And Golden Eyed” by Ray Bradbury, a party of humans arrive in Mars and try to build their new lives there after an apocalypse on the Earth.

Fiction books are much more enjoyable than non-fiction books. Think of the book, The Hunger Games, and think of a textbook. Which is more likely to interest you? If you are like me, then you are probably on the fiction side! The Hunger Games because in The Hunger Games there's suspense everywhere you look. However, in an informational non-fiction book there will not be hardly any suspense. The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has suspense everywhere you looked. The 8th Grade class reads, “Tell Tale Heart” and, “Annabel Lee.” They each had some really good examples of suspense. Fiction is just made for suspense, that is what makes fiction novels so great.

The plot is developed in a different tone in both versions of the story. In the actual textual part, the mood isn’t as brightened. For example, it starts out on page 127 paragraph 2, “The man felt his hair flutter and the tissues of his body draw tight as if he were standing at the center of a vacuum.” This gives a permeating feeling through the reader's mind. Yet, in the radio play, they start out with the sound affects at about 3 minutes, the sound effects and worrisome emotions with characters really drew you

Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses.
