Answer 1

Answer:

developing a fast pace.

Explanation:

The author makes this part of the story interesting by developing a fast pace.

In literary terms, pace is the speed at which a narrator tells a story which is determined by the length of the scene or how fast the reader is provided with information.

In this case, the author quickly provides the reader with information at a break-neck speed which makes the story more interesting.

"She wanted me to leave the light booth after the lights went up on that scene, go backstage, go onstage, say Max's two lines, then go backstage again and back to the light booth in time to bring the lights down on the scene."

Here, the sequence of events are given out quickly, so the reader can almost feel the action.
