Argument Builder!!! Details is the most important literary device used to creating suspense in “The Three skeleton keys”. My two arguments to support my overall position is that (A) If there is no details there would be no setting, characterization, or personification because details holds up all the literary devices. My evidence to back up my claim A is on pg.41 in the text it said “The three of us grew tense as the ship seemed to crash on one of our numerous reefs, but she suddenly launched with some change of the wind”. My reasoning for that my argumentative claim is true is that this piece of evidence shows how the character reacted to the big ship and how the story is getting suspenseful which shows a lot of details.
