The irony is both of them sold their most prized possessions to get the other a special christmas present, however both of their presents are designed for the prized possession each one sold.
This is critic as both characters realised that the other person would give up their prized possession for them to be happy. This is a key message sent by the author through this book. They are wise as they know that people should be more valued over possessions.

Which note best summarizes the central idea of "A Simple Way to Create Suspense"?

diamong [38]

Answer:

d. Make readers hungry for answers

Explanation:

Lee Child wrote this interesting article in order to answer the same old question "How to create a suspense?".

According to him, the conclusion can be drawn from an analogy between creating a suspense and baking a cake.

Surely, for both of those things you need ingredients and they need to be adequately mixed, but the answer, Lee, suggests, is much simpler: the cake doesn't matter, all that matters is that your family members are hungry.

By using this analogy, he claims that successful suspense is created by making the readers/viewers constantly oblivious as to what will happen next. Anticipation will glue them to the book, making them flip the pages vigorously in search for answers and resolution.
