The technique that the author Irving incorporates in this story is that of

  • Quickening the pace.

Quickening the pace is a technique that authors use to build suspense in a text.

In this technique, events take place in a very hasty manner that makes the reader wonder what next will happen, or what will be the final outcome.

We see this applied at the outset of this story, the fast manner in which the character wore his clothes, moved down the stairs, and tumbled over some pieces of furniture.

All of these actions infuse suspense in the reader who wonders what will happen next.

What was the most recent school recycling campaign like?​
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

According to the EPA, of the 267.8 million tons of municipal solid waste generated by Americans in 2017, only 94.2 million tons were recycled or composted. Sixty-six percent of discarded paper and cardboard was recycled, 27 percent of glass and 8 percent of plastics were recycled.

If you haven't already, make sure you convert as many of your school's bins into ones with separate recycling compartments. Wherever you can get them, add a recycling bin and remove any excuses people might have for not recycling their waste. Water fountains are another essential purchase.
