How does changing sentence structure from long to short and choppy help build suspense?

English

Changing the sentence from a very long sentence into a short and choppy helps the suspense by not giving the reader a lot of information and making them really think and wonder.
For example:
"The stranger watched, a look in his eyes and this feeling spread throughout my body." 

or

"There was a man watching, his blue eyes had this look in them that made me shiver with fear. His pale face held no emotion and made him seem as if he was just a corpse standing on his own."

The second one might sound better, yes, but the second one really makes you think and really builds the suspense.
"Who is this stranger? What does he look like? What feeling spread throughout their body?"

So instead of knowing a lot about this stranger, you know little to nothing and it really makes you want to know more, and definitely build the suspense.

Is all afire, though none the flame may see.
pychu [463]

Answer:

1. Simile was used to compare the poet's heart to the salt-kilns by Tsunu's wave.

2. Hyperbole was used to exaggerate the condition of the author's heart by describing it as being aflame.

Explanation:

Simile is the direct comparison of two different things using 'like', and 'as'. Just as salt glazes were made by throwing salt to the kiln, so was the poet's heart.

Hyperbole is used to make an exaggeration. The poet's heart was described as being afire though nobody actually sees the flame. This is a form of exaggeration.
