Question

I need help as soon as possible. I only have these two questions left and I have no clue of what to do for them.

I can figure them out on my own if someone can tell me the techniques of suspense are.

The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant

- What techniques does the author use to create suspense throughout the story?
- What techniques does the author use to create a surprise ending?

Answer 1

The author’s use of literary devices was very effective. De Maupassant used
suspense throughout the story to hook the reader.
• Will Mathilde go to dinner?
• Will the Loisels find the necklace?

De Maupassant uses symbolism and the irony of the surprise ending to give the
story a social significance and depth that might otherwise be missing.

Answer 2

Thank you so much. I don't get the literary devices that well.

Answer 3

Sure, no problem!

Answer 4

What literary devices did you use for the Will Mathilde go to dinner? Will the Loisels find the necklace?

Answer 5

Those are the contributing events for suspense. Flashbacks are frequently used in literature as a literary technique to create suspense.

Answer 6

I think I've got it now. Thank you (:
