Creating Suspense

Creating Suspense

In a story there are many ways of creating suspense. One way of suspense is when characters are working against the dead line. One example of this is when Gardo and Olivia went to prison to talk to Gabriel Olondriz but they only had limited time. This is an example of suspense because we the readers get to learn more about both Gabriel and Jose’s life and it also advances the mystery.  Another example is when Raphael, Gardo and Rat went to the mission school to use the computer to learn more about Jose Angelico. This is an example because we don’t know what they just red and it makes us more curious about what happened to Jose.

Another way of creating suspense is with Conflict. One example of conflict is when there was the sound of gun shots and people screaming. This creates conflict because we don’t know who shot the gun and who was shot but whoever fired it. Another example is when Raphael was captured by the police and was taken to the police station to be interrogated. This is an example of suspense because we don’t know if Raphael will give up to the police.

Another way is adding an element of surprise one example is when Raphael was taken away by the police. This is an example because we don’t know why was Raphael taken away and how did the police find him so fast. Another example is when the police went to Behala to look for the bag but came out empty handed. This creates suspense because we want to know why the police chose this place out of other places.

The final way of creating suspense is Using sensory details to create an air of mystery. An example is the whistle blowing and gun shots. An example because where did the gun shot comes from and who was firing them. The last example is the smell of Rats house. An example because it makes you confused how he survives in such horrible conditions.

In conclusion, suspense is really important in a story because it makes us want to know more and makes it way more exiting.
