Part B – Connect and Reflect
In this lesson, you analyzed how the events and themes in "New Chicago" are drawn from and transform its source material "The Monkey's Paw." In doing so, you considered how both of these authors create tension over the course of the texts. In the Unit Activity, you'll write a literature analysis on authorial techniques.

Based on your work in this lesson, answer the question: How do both texts validate, challenge, or refine your understanding of how authors keep us on the edge of our seats?

Answer 1

Answer: Both texts validate my understanding of how authors keep readers on the edge of their seats by creating tension through the use of foreshadowing and suspense. In "The Monkey's Paw," the author uses foreshadowing to hint at the negative consequences of using the monkey's paw. The tension in the story builds as the characters' wishes become more extreme and the consequences become more severe. In "New Chicago," the author uses suspense to keep the reader engaged in the story. The tension in the story builds as the characters' situation becomes more dire and the stakes become higher. Both texts show how authors can use literary techniques to create tension and keep readers on the edge of their seats.
