To identify the suspense-building techniques used by the author in paragraphs 8-16 of RuthlessWrite, one must analyze the point of view and conflict. The point of view influences how the story is told, and could be first person, third person detached, or third person omniscient.
When examining the suspense-building techniques used by the author in paragraphs 8-16 of the article RuthlessWrite, we should consider aspects such as the point of view and the presence of conflict. The narrative can be approached from different points of view; it can be a first person "I" narrative, a detached third person "he/she/they" narrative, or an omniscient third person narrative where the narrator can reveal what all characters are thinking and doing at all times. To determine which technique(s) the author uses, we must analyze the text for clues: Does the author speak through one of the characters? Is the story written to reflect the thoughts and feelings of one specific character, or is there an all-knowing narrator involved?
Moreover, the building of tension surrounding the conflict is a key element in crafting suspense. According to the editing focus of the text, discussed in Section 4.6, the narrative should reflect well-developed characters and a consistent point of view.
To explore this further, we could consider questions of narration from Section 4.9, which addresses the impact of the narrator's knowledge on the story. Is the story colored by the biases of a character, or is it told from an objective, all-knowing perspective? Understanding these elements can help us pinpoint which suspense-building techniques are being employed by the author in the given paragraphs.
