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 first person perspective to help create suspense in this passage. 

Having the author experience the events along with the narrator creates a sense of calm and happiness at first, lulling the narrator (and the reader) into a sense of comfort. Then, seeing the surprise and the horror of her older face the narrator and the reader discover it together and the mood shifts instantly.

What theme of "The Black Ball" depends on having a Modernist narrator - a narrator with the power to change his society?
Dima020 [189]

The theme of "The Black Ball" that depends on having a Modernist narrator is that it is not good to be behind the black ball (eight ball) in pool, and in life, African Americans needed to play a game like pool, just to stay out of trouble.
