Homework for 4/9


We will discuss "How do writers create suspense?" by discussing two short stories famous for their suspense and their ends:

1. Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour"

2. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-tale Heart" 

For each story, I want you to record three (3) main points about how each author created suspense using foreshadowing techniques and the chosen point of view.
