the biggest structural component in this story is foreshadowing!!!

There are several structural characteristics of "The Open Window" that help create a feeling of surprise. One of them is how the author manipulates time. In order to do so, he uses flashbacks extensively. The best example is when Mr. Nuttel thinks of the words his sister said to him when he was about to go to the countryside. Through this flashback, we also learn that Mr. Nuttel has problems with his nerves.

The author also surprises us by not placing all the characters together at the same time. The fact that the aunt is upstairs and her husband is out allow for the surprise at the end to materialize.

Finally, the author builds the story with the expectation of a surprise, created through foreshadowing. However, he does not reveal what the surprise is until the very end, when it becomes inevitable.

The question above wants to assess your ability to interpret a text and analyze a character. For that reason, it's not correct for me to write the answer for you, but I'll show you how to answer them.

First, you must read the text and identify the protagonist of the story, that is, you need to identify the main character.

This character is the one to which all the events in the story are related. Since all elements of the story revolve around him or her.

You can answer the questions about this character as follows:

  1. Physical Appearance: Show what the character looks like, describe height, hair color, eye color, skin color, and anything else related to appearance.
  2. Feelings: Show if this character is happy, sad, anxious, angry, scared, hopeful, or whatever other feelings he has.
  3. Attitude: Describe this character's behavior and how he acts in situations in which he is involved.

About the elements of the story, you can identify them as follows:

  • Exhibition: It is the beginning of the story where the basic elements are presented. These elements are the characters and the setting.

  • Rising action: This shows when the tension in the story starts to rise as the story is reaching its main event.

  • Climax: This refers to the most important moment in the story, where the character is facing the biggest challenge. This is the tensest moment in the story.

  • Falling action: It's the moment that happens after the main moment of the story when the character's biggest challenge has already been overcome. At that point, the tension starts to fall and the story starts to come to an end.

  • Resolution: It is the end of the story where the conclusion is presented.
