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.

Explanation: Cowboy trade cards was something Jerry enjoyed collecting with his friends. He had to make a decision about whether or not he should give up his money to help buy a present for his dad's birthday or spend it on the cowboy trading card he's been waiting for. Soon his father and brother lost their jobs. President trading cards replaced cowboy cards. Now Jerry feels bad about not chipping in money for the birth gift. Towards the end, he makes a decision to sell his cowboy card to Rollie and gives the money to his brother so that he can use it towards his dance. Jerry has become thoughtful and mature by doing so.
