Question

Identify a writing situation in which you might want to use a fast pace. What would you do to create a fast pace? What would be the effect? Your response should be a minimum of 3-5 sentences.

Answer 1

A situation you might want to use a fast pace is if, you are trying to reveal a surprise or shock. Another situation you might want to use fast pace is if you want to communicate excitement, joy, or enthusiasm. You can use a fast pace to also build suspense, create anxiety, fear, or convey dread. To create a fast-paced writing, you will need to use short sentences or long sentences with many short phrases,  many short phrases connected by commas, and repetition of words. You can connect these to your writing by using sentences with repetition, punctuation that make the reader pause, fragment sentences, and infinitive phrases. The effect of using face-paced writing would be to give the sense that time is going quickly and to make the readers heart race.
