The writer fails to support their points with evidence in the second paragraph. They mention that Poe phrases everything in such a way where it builds suspension. They gave examples of how the pacing of the story is a big part. For example, “Whenever the action becomes intense or the narrator becomes excited or violent the sentences are either short or very choppy, with numerous short phrases connected by commas. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly.”
What they’ve failed to do is give evidence of exactly when this happened. If I had to choose to give evidence to help prove this, I might use the scene where the narrator hung his cat (to really point out how they kept up repeating the same words over again, creating the effect of a clock ticking). To really go in-depth, I’d use the scene where the police scene, using this, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I quivered not in a muscle. My heart beat calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” to show how fast-paced the author made this. I’d explain how it is fast-paced if I hadn’t already (how short the sentences are, how it focuses on the actions of the story, etc).
If it’s really necessary, I’d also include a scene where the sentences are very long to show that the author is attempting to make the story slow-paced. Here’s an example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.”
