Question

Analyze this response to a question:

When Jerry decides to swim through the tunnel, the author builds suspense by describing Jerry: "He was trembling with horror at that long, long tunnel under the rock, under the sea" (34).

What is the purpose of including the phrase "the author builds suspense by describing Jerry" in the context? (Simple 1-2 sentence answer)

Answer 1

Answer:

The author's purpose of including the phrase was to show the readers that the author's main goal was to build suspense throughout the sentence.

This is an odd question because the author already states that "author builds suspense by describing Jerry" but also askes why he included that sentence lol
