17. Adding to an author’s literary toolbox. SUSPENSE, CHARACTERIZATION, & MOOD

18. A feeling that makes readers feel uncertain or tense about the outcome of events. It leaves the reader holding their breath or wanting more information. Example from “The Minister’s Black Veil”: -When Father Hooper is at his death bed and Reverend Clark reaches to remove the veil. -Can you think of other examples? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07l6HgPDJn0 SUSPENSE
