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.

Development of Suspense by Hitchcock in Psycho 'Psycho,' the somewhat infamous film by Alfred Hitchcock was produced in 1961, a time when the American censors, The Hays Office, still dominated the film industry with their strict rules and principles. It earned its notoriety by defying the traditional cinematic convections of that time and pushing the boundaries of what could be shown in mainstream cinema. The rules implemented by The Hays Office were far stricter than they are today, and Hitchcock uses all available means to reach and go slightly beyond the set limit. Using clever and different camera angles, he implies things that are not shown. He proves that innuendoes can portray the

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.

During the colonial era, there were three groups of people with three varying political beliefs; the Patriots, the Loyalists, and the slaves. In the novel Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson, she writes about how the term “Freedom and Liberty” meant something different to each of the groups.

Lastly, the slaves would act fearlessly and do things to spite their masters regardless of their political position. All in all, these diverse classes of
