Answer:
How does the author use an event in the rising action to create suspense at the climax?
B.
In the rising action, the narrator hears the valet laughing and whispering in the hallway, which motivates him to attack the valet at the climax.
The climax is the turning point of a story when the main character's problem begins to be solved or resolved.
Emotions that I felt:
Shock, dread, like a void/empty, pensive and melancholy.
Why?
There is morbid detail in this poem which relates to soldiers of war who have died.
Despite their honorable sacrifice in war, in modern times, they have become forgotten (highlighted by the indifference of the conductor) and have become associated with the grass of the Earth.
This relates to a much quoted verse from the Old Testament of the Bible “All men are flesh”.
The main principle is that men are born of dust and shall once return as dust/soil (to the Earth) - elements of this are also true even for non-believers - carbon cycle.
Here are two examples : '' So Carnehan loaded the mules with the rifles that was taken off the camels, and together we starts forward into those bitter cold mountainous parts, and never a road broader than the back of your hand.''
'' My eye could detect no failure in the disguises. The scene in the Serai attested that they were complete to the native mind. There was just the chance, therefore, that Carnehan and Dravot would be able to wander through Afghanistan without detection.''
The action of Carnehan preparing things for his journey show that they are taking this adventure seriously and truly wish to accomplish their goal of becoming kings. Although they had trials and tribulations to face, they are stepping up to the plate and conquering them.
