Camille is taking notes on "A Simple Way to Create Suspense." Like the old cartoon of the big fish eating a smaller fish eating

a very small fish, you’ll find out the big answer after a string of smaller drip-drip-drip answers. The big answer is parceled out slowly and parsimoniously. I remember doing that in "Killing Floor,” my first novel featuring Jack Reacher, a drifter and ex-military policeman. Something weird is happening in a small Georgia town. O.K., great, but what? Well, it seems to be something to do with money. Fine, but what exactly? Well, it seems to be about getting hold of perfect blank paper for counterfeiting purposes. Wonderful, but where the heck are they getting it? Which will be most helpful as Camille re-reads her notes to find the central idea of this paragraph? Lee Child = author Jack Reacher ;Fish, drips = answers; Big answer should come slowly; Blank paper to print mone

Answer: Big answer should come slowly.

The main idea of the passage is that, when writing a story and trying to create suspense, the "big answer" should come slowly. Option A is not particularly useful as the information can probably be obtained by just looking at the title of the text. Option B will not very clear helpful if Camille forgets the purpose of this metaphor. Finally, option D is relevant for the actual <em>Jack Reacher</em> novel, but not for the text on how to write suspense.

Summary of the sniper
Yuki888 [10]

    The Sniper, by Liam O'Flaherty, is a fiction novel centered around the dehumanization of war. In the short story, a Republican sniper remains positioned atop the rooftops of Dublin. Nighttime has fallen, and the moment he lights a cigarette, an enemy sniper, a Free Stater, fires a bullet directly over his head. Positioned atop the building directly across from sniper rests the enemy that took aim. Immediately after, an armored car arrives at the scene, and an old woman in a tattered shawl informs them of the Republican snipers position. A turret unleashes itself atop the armored car, but the sniper is too nimble and terminates both the man behind the turret and the old woman.

    Suddenly, a shot rings out from the opposing rooftop, striking the sniper in the arm and forcing him to drop his rifle from the excruciating pain. Our unassailable sniper trudges on regardless. "Then he lay still against the parapet, and, closing his eyes, he made an effort of will to overcome the  pain," (O'Flaherty, 1923, p. 2). The sniper is clever and hastily devises a plan to shoot the enemy with just his pistol from fifty yards away. He props his hat up on his rifle, giving the enemy sniper plenty of time to take his shot, and mocks his own death by letting the hat fall to the bottom of the building and slumming his hand over the edge. His arm trembles from the recoil, and the clearing smoke reveals his target: writhing in pain, and eventually dead.

    After drinking from his flask to dull the sensations of war, curiosity compels the sniper to unmask his target's identity. "He threw himself face downward beside the corpse... Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face," (O'Flaherty, 1923, p. 3). This guides one's attention back to our theme, the dehumanization of war. The antagonist and Free Stater sniper who fires at the Republican sniper in the beginning is actually his brother.

<em>This is the best summary I could make. I used every strong verb I could, avoiding state of being verbs and passive voice, and cited my quotations appropriately. I don't know about authorial stems unfortunately, nor do I know what to highlight and underline, so you are on your own for those. This should give you a good idea on what to do though. I hope this helps :)</em>
