2. How does the writer use language to build tension? /8
Example:
The writer uses repetition of determination to build tension. The repeated “I will, I will” builds to a climax with “only I will.” The reiteration emphasises the willpower of the character in being able to face a fear of some kind which creates tension through the fear. The use of “only” suggests that the character is the only person able to carry out the task, which builds tension as the reader wonders if they truly can. Furthermore, the fact the reader is unsure what the character is facing at this point in the extract also reinforces the tension and suspense even more.
