Suspense In Liam O 'Flaherty's The Sniper'

248 Words1 Pages
The story that had the most suspense was “The Sniper” because the author used short, choppy sentences, left cliffhangers at the end of paragraphs, and had a plot twist at the end of the story. Liam O’Flaherty’s use of short, choppy sentences makes it suspenseful because they don’t give you a lot of information. The lack of information leads you to keep reading so you can find out what happens next. If the sentences are drawn out, you don’t get a suspenseful feeling since everything is there in one sentence. Leaving cliffhangers at the ends of paragraphs creates suspense because you don’t know what will happen next A good example of this is when the story says,”The flash might might be seen in the darkness, and there were enemies watching.
