Read the excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else" A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam’s apple, right near the gr

eat vein. How hot it is! Torres must be sweating just as I am. But he is not afraid. He is a tranquil man, who is not even giving thought to what he will do to his prisoners this evening. I, on the other hand, polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the drawing of blood, careful with every stroke—I cannot keep my thoughts in order. How does the author best create suspense in this excerpt? The captain is described as tranquil and unafraid, which shows that he is violent. Descriptive shaving details are included to create tension in the barbershop. Prisoners and blood are mentioned, which hints at the upcoming dangerous scene ahead. Short sentences and confused thoughts speed the pace toward the barber’s important decision.

What's the purpose of Daly's "Sixteen"?
egoroff_w [7]
I think that the purpose of Daly's "Sixteen" is TO SERVE AS A LESSON TO OTHER GIRLS.

At 16, you think you know everything there is to know just like the character in the story. She always say's "I know...." and because of what she knew, she had expectations. She expected that the boy she met in the skating rink will call her after spending time with her, walking her home, and telling her that he'd call. She was emotionally invested but she got disappointed. The boy did not call and in the end of the story, she knew that he will never, ever, call.
