It’s no wonder that the authors of these stories create powerful characters that evolve as the reader progresses through the story. For these reasons, characterization plays a tremendous role in not only the development of the story, but also the continued interest of the reader.

    This is achieved through short sentences such as, “Alex lit a cigarette”, “he sat and waited”, “Alex had almost gone to sleep” and finally, “Alex had blew a cloud of smoke”. Not only does this include a motif of ‘smoke’ which represents confusion, but the short sentences contain a physical movement performed by Alex that breaks the stream of consciousness, and allows the reader to almost time travel to the “here” and “now”.

It is the effective short sentences that signal a shift between exteriority and interiority.…
