From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the d

oor with the key I’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My hand touched my skin—the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as I lunged for the door. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

The author uses very vague and mysterious phrases such as "as the website had promised" and " unlock the door with the key I had been sent.". Because he doesn't reveal who or what sent him/ brought him to that home, we question why he is there and what is going to happen next (Good or Bad). This can be seen in movies too. Typically writers will leave out key information to make us think and wonder. Hope that helped! :))

Mashcka [7]

Konichiwa~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this marvelous day. The answer to your question is C; Normalcy. It wouldn't be communism because that would be the hatred or murderous intent for the foreigners. It isn't Liberalism because that would be the curiosity of the foreigners. And it isn't democracy because then the foreigners would be political.

I hope that this helps! :3
