What is suspense in a story?

Suspense is the element that authors use to try to leave the reader hanging, trying to figure out what will happen next, especially when the author does this at the end of the book without actually telling what happens. This leaves a particularly strong effect.Suspense is what gives the reader the "on-edge" feeling. Suspense builds in order to make those final moments, no matter how short, the most memorable moments in the work. For example, in The Road by Cormac McCarthy suspense builds constantly. Then at the points in the book where there is actual external conflict, the moments are short and yet lasting. The suspense in a story just keeps the reader hooked into reading more until the climax is reached and the thrill and amusement of the suspension finally comes to a close.The suspense of a story may be the point at which the reader feels more eager to know the end, and what would happen next, it is often referred to in literature as the climax or the top of the story; when characters and events reach a high complexity. The suspense in the story is the most important element that was never ignored by writers throughout the ages.


What is the exposition in 'Contents of the Dead Man's Pockets'?

The author utilizes a narrator with an omniscient point of view. This allows the reader to get an insight into the thoughts and feelings of Tom. The use of this type of narrator also allows the author to control what and how much is revealed to the reader in building suspense. The point of view used influences the effectiveness of suspense as the narrator reveals the various thoughts and feelings of Tom at the correct point in the development of the story to keep the reader absorbed by the developments. The narrator's perspective affects your understanding of the story. The tone in this story is seemingly neutral and factual, but on closer assessment it becomes clear that the author, Jack Finney, portrays a sympathetic view towards the character Tom Benecke. The way the narrator is telling the story results in a lot of suspense. Will Tom go out on the ledge? Will he be able to retrieve the yellow paper? Will he be able to stay on to the ledge? Will he be able to get anybodies attention to help him and will he be able to get back in the apartment? All these questions are gradually introduces and answered by the narrator as the rising action builds up to the climax in the story when Tom resolves the conflict by striking the glass with his last grain of strength. By utelising a narrator with an omniscient point of view Jack Finney is able to use various complications such as the setting, the mindset of Tom Benecke, and also Tom's rescue efforts help expand the amount of suspense. He also uses key aspects in the setting such as the weather and Tom's location to create complications, which help lead to a lot of suspense.
