Those that could not bear being burnt alive or enduring the deadly smoke opted to escape through the windows, preferring to jump and about 60 workers made the leap of faith of jumping to save their lives where some survived and others perished (Lewis, 2016).

One way that the authors raise suspense in the book is through dialogue. Examples of this in the text are, “ ‘Watch your tongue or I’ll slice it out’ “ (Collier & Collier, 50) and “Finally he said, ‘I don’t believe you’ “ (Collier & Collier, 51). As these examples are read by the reader, they feel a shift of mood in the moment; one of suspense and heightened tension. The heightened tension and suspense can give the reader a rush of excitement. This rush of excitement is what makes them come back for more, to find out what happens next.
Trauma was originally a Greek word that solely meant a physical injury or wound, however that term evolved into a concept that referred to the emotional and psychic impact that hurtful experiences can have on a person (Kim, David).

In “The Pit and the Pendulum”, the author manages to incorporate suspense into several parts of this story. One example is where it states, “I was sick—sick unto death with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence—the dread sentence of death—was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears.

There are times in life where people do commit a small mistake, or a huge crime, but what really matters is if one will listen to their conscience. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, the main character lives with an old man who has an eye that “resembled that of a vulture--a pale blue eye, with a film over it.” The story revolves around the main character’s obsession over the eye, and how he got rid of it-- by murdering the old man.
