Author Create Suspense

One way the author creates suspense is character working against deadline. In this book, there three boys who are working on a mystery and they got a lot of clues. Sometimes, it can be dangerous for them example like, the for the first clue, they need to go to the train station to get the package in the locker. This is dangerous  for dump site kids, because they are really poor no one can trust them and there are many police corruption. Another example of it is, when Raphael, Gardo and Rat were scared if the police caught them. This shows that the author create suspense to the reader by showing how does the boys felt and make the reader start to ask question like what will happen next? Will they get caught? And etc. Futhermore, when Raphael lied to the police about Jose Angelico and the bag that he found. The author create suspense to the reader by saying that they lied about it and make the reader think, why should he lie? Why? 

Another way the author create suspense is reader knows more than the characters. For example when Gardo lied to Sister Olivia about he wants to meet his grandfather at the Colva Prison. This shows that the author creates suspense to the reader because we know that he wants to meet Gabriel Olondriz not his, grandfather.  Moreover,  Gardo, Rat and Raphael doesn't know that Pia Dante is dead. This shows that the author created suspense because the reader knows that she's dead. In addition, when the police doesn't know who has the bag. The author creates suspense to the reader because we know who go the bag and where it is.

Futhermore, the author create suspense is using sensory details to create an air of mystery. Example like, the smell and sight at the Colva Prison. The author creates suspense because we know that the sight and the smell of the prison is really bad because Sister Olivia said in the book. Another example is  the smell of Rat house. This creates suspense because Raphael said, Rat's house is like a small hole and there were many rats everywhere. In addition, when they heard the police's siren. The author creates suspense because after they heard the siren they felt scared and at the same time they tried to think whether they should run or not. This made the reader thinks what will happen next? What If the police caught them? 

Lastly, the way the author creates suspense is conflict. For example is when Raphael at the police station with the police try to find something about the bag. The author creates suspense to the reader because they are conflict, argument, and toturing between them but, Raphael didn't tell them because he tried to protect Jose Angelico. Moreover, is when Raphael and his family were arguing about the bag. The author creates suspense by making a conflict between Raphael and his family and the reader know about the bag and the reason why he lied.The last example is  when Gardo and Sister Olivia were in the prison with Gabriel Olondriz. The author creates suspense to the readers because the reader know that Gardo went there to know more about Jose Angelico, not to see his grandfather. There was a conflict and argument between them.

In conclusion, there are many ways authors can creates suspense to the readers. Example as, character working against deadline, reader knows more than the characters, using sensory detail to create an air to the mystery, conflict and many more. The more way the author creates suspense, the more interesting the book will be! ;)
