3. How does the writer use language to build tension? /8
Example:
The writer builds tension in the extract by using repetition. The repeated “I will, I will” builds to a climax with “only I will.” The repetition emphasises the determination of the character in being able to face a fear of some kind which creates tension through the fear aspect. 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.

5. How does the writer structure the text to engage the reader? /8
Example:
The writer engages the reader in the extract by using a spotlight on the chase. Doyle uses actions “ran through the gloom” which develops to “panting up hills” and then “rushing down slopes.” The actions engage the reader in Holmes and Watson’s chase of the crying and moaning on the moor because the reader knows they are unsure of what they will find which is thrilling and engaging. The use of “rushing” suggests to the reader there is an urgency for the characters to find the missing man therefore creating an engaging moment in whether they will find the man or the beast first. Also, the fact the reader is unsure what the beast actually is, creates engagement as it adds to the suspense.

I completely agree with the statement as it is obvious the text shows the character is worried from the start. An example is, “from the moment the bus moved on.” The use of the discourse marker “from the moment” highlights the importance of the event because as soon as the bus leaves he knows he is alone which is worrying. This is effective because the writer makes the character seem vulnerable as the bus and its passengers are no longer there to witness or support him which could be distressing.
