An example of foreshadowing in the story is at the point when the Trapeze Act is about to begin the writer adds words like “never again to meet” (Erdrich 191). This tells us that something unfortunate is about to happen. The author adds more suspense to the setting of the trapeze act by saying: “As the clouds gathered outside, unnoticed, the ring master cracked his whip, shouted, his introduction, and pointed to the ceiling of the tent, where the Flying Avalons were perched” (Erdrich 191). The author successfully builds up suspense throughout the story until the true nature of the events she suggests are revealed. This can be seen when the writer talks about what happens “when extremes of temperature collide, winds being generated instantaneously behind a hell and crash upon without warning.” (Erdrich 191) The characterisation of “The Leap” is developed through the technique of flashback.

The documentary interviews Philippe and his accomplices and he tells the audience what it was like having to hide out and illegally cast a wire on the Twin Towers. He proudly boasts how it was nothing anyone had ever done.
In the beginning of the text, nothing but the circus concerns him. When he describes the circus’ arrival, it is obvious that it is being told from a child’s point of view: “And then there was the locomotive charging on us with fire and light and sound like a black storm, clouds following it. Out of boxcars red and green lanterns swung and in the boxcars were snorts and screams and yells. “… “Lights flashed on. In half an hour there were pancakes frying somewhere and people laughing.” Doug’s focus is on very visual aspects, which adults would not react to in the same way.
“Suspense Paragraph” October 3, 2012 Cold Equations Suspense Paragraph Tom Goodwin uses different methods of writing to create suspense in the story “Cold Equation” to spark the interest of the reader’s attention. When characters experience moments of doubt or confusion; or the author slows down the moment when the main character is in doubt these are methods that creates suspense. To illustrate how he uses the first method listed to create the feeling of anxious curiosity, Barton says to Marilyn, “What are you doing here?” he asked. “Why did you stow away on this EDS?” The reader becomes involved because it makes the reader wonder or want to predict what Barton is going to do to Marilyn, but also wonder why she is on the aircraft.

She called her older sister, Suzanne, unable to speak and begged her to come to the hospital.

So from the start, the use of sombre, sinister, and sullen may evoke a dismal feeling of depression, darkness,and evilness for the reader, or perhaps a symbol of Satan. In the next scene,
