Read the excerpt from "lather and nothing else" a little more lather here under the chin, on the adam’s apple, right near the great vein. how hot it is! torres must be sweating just as i am. but he is not afraid. he is a tranquil man, who is not even giving thought to what he will do to his prisoners this evening. i, on the other hand, polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the drawing of blood, careful with every stroke—i cannot keep my thoughts in order. how does the author best create suspense in this excerpt? the captain is described as tranquil and unafraid, which shows that he is violent. descriptive shaving details are included to create tension in the barbershop. prisoners and blood are mentioned, which hints at the upcoming dangerous scene ahead. short sentences and confused thoughts speed the pace toward the barber’s important decision.

I believe that the correct answer is the last statement – short sentences and confused thoughts speed the pace toward the barber’s important decision.

Suspense is the technique authors use to build tension, anxiety, fear or excitement. This is usually achieved with use of short sentences whose rhythm builds tension. To achieve suspense, authors also use ellipsis, simile, metaphors and powerful verbs (such as whispered, crept).

the right answer is short sntences and confused thoughts speed the pace toward the barbers important decision

ludwig van beethoven (/ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪt(h)oʊvən/ (about this soundlisten); german: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn̩] (about this soundlisten); baptised 17 december 1770[1] – 26 march 1827) was a german composer and pianist. a crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers. his best-known compositions include 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass, the missa solemnis; and an opera,

fidelio. his career as a composer is conventionally divided into early, middle, and late periods; the "early" period is typically seen to last until 1802, the "middle" period from 1802 to 1812, and the "late" period from 1812 to his death in 1827.

beethoven was born in bonn, then the capital of the electorate of cologne and part of the holy roman empire. he displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father johann van beethoven and composer and conductor christian gottlob neefe. at the age of 21 he moved to vienna, where he began studying composition with joseph haydn and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. he lived in vienna until his death.

by his late 20s his hearing began to deteriorate and by the last decade of his life he was almost completely deaf. in 1811 he gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from these last 15 years of his life, commonly known as his "late" period.
