Question

What is one way the author increases the sense of horror and suspense in this excerpt? Cite textual evidence to explain your idea in cujo

Answer 1

Answer:

The author builds up suspense and horror through the way he describes and goes into great detail about how Cujo looks. By saying that his characteristics are blood coated on his fur, foaming at the mouth, and vicious-looking, you can visualize how the dog looks and how scary the situation is. The text is, "  The dog's eyes settled on hers. They were red and rheumy. They were leaking some viscous substance. The dog seemed to be weeping gummy tears. His tawny coat was caked and matted with mud and— Blood. is that (it is it's blood Christ Christ)" When an author uses an  impressive amount of detail into a story, you can almost completely visualize the scene happening, as if you are watching it.
