Climax

story called “The Lady, or the Tiger?” for a magazine called St. Nicholas (Klimas 216). It quickly became one of the most famous short stories in the world, because of Stockton’s use of suspense (Klimas 216). Stockton used exposition, conflict, and climax to create the suspense in his story. Stockton used exposition to create suspense by introducing the arena. “Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarianism was semified was that of the public arena . . .” Stockton 219). It made readers…

and climax. The first reason of why the “character vs. self” conflict was the most important, is because it created the inciting incident. In the beginning of the story, it says, “The neighbor feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be head of his family; if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym.” This quote shows that hatred inside their heads grew bigger between generations because of their…

Both “the open window,” by Saki, and “the monkey’s paw,” by Jacobs, are structured in parts; and each of these parts correspond to an occurrence during the story. Saki and Jacobs also both introduce ghosts during the climax of the stories- however in the Monkey’s paw we never really find out if the ghost is real, and in the Open window, we explicitly find out that the ghost is not real. Finally, both Saki and Jacobs make use of powerful language to instill fear in the reader and pull them…

Shakespeare depicts the climax of Lear’s selfishness in Act 3, Scene 2, the storm. Although it could be seen as the climax of Lear’s madness, it is not. This is only the point at which all of Lear’s rage is let loose, as he screams at the heavens to do their worst. It is the climax of his selfishness because Lear refuses to accept any responsibility for his misfortune, proclaiming, “I am a man // More sinned against than sinning.”(3.2.62) At this stage Lear believes all his misfortune has been…

emphasize certain points, project the feelings of the character and to keep the reader moving through the piece in a way that they end up focusing on key, intentional points. The authors goal in this piece is to build to a specific climax. In the beginning there is a small climax, a foreshadowing of what is to come and to show the conflict between the character and the river. Vandervelde uses polysyndeton to lead the reader through it. She then goes on to use hyperbole, onomatopoeia,…

significant difference between the savages and the civilized, as Piggy and Ralph approached the situation very differently, Ralph asked for piggy’s glasses back instead of going there and stealing them from the savages. If this incident didn’t happen, the climax would have not been possible because the civilized group of boys would have never be in the situation where they would have to confront the savages about the theft of the piggy’s glasses, which would have also prevented Piggy's death. In…

in excitement, but when you get to the climax and even the rising action, the action is intense. For example, when the kids are first told that they have to leave Egypt, you wonder why. And in the climax, something happens to one of the main characters. What will happen? Why? Who? It leaves you in suspense to keep you reading, which is one of the many reasons I would recommend this fascinating book to everyone who enjoys suspense, unexpected turns, and a climax full of…

This includes the tone, theme, atmosphere, climax, conflict, and resolution of the story. The tone would be different because it would probably galvanize the author to portray the invisible man as a good person who needs help. The conflict would also change because it would probably be trying to become visible, and not him trying to be secretive with the town. Another thing that would change would be the climax. The climax would change because instead of being when the invisible man…
