The question above does not present the texts that should be evaluated. Moreover, the questions want to know your personal opinion about these texts, which prevents me from being able to answer them. However, you can answer these questions as follows:

  • 1. Introduce the text that left you apprehensive and motivated to continue reading, as you were curious about the suspense and involved by the tension of the text. Show why you had this opinion of the text and how the author managed to promote these characteristics.

  • 2. A technique often used in suspense texts is Foreshadowing. This technique allows the authors to add information that will still happen, in a subjunctive and mysterious way, increasing the reader's tension and curiosity. Note if your texts have this technique and show which they developed it in the best way. Another technique can be dramatic irony, where the author lets the reader know information that the characters don't know.

  • 3. Authors can use old material, adapting it to current society. This is done through symbolism that reinforces current fears of society while maintaining the structure and appearance of the ancient material. The authors do this to get readers involved, as they can identify elements of their times in the reading, even if the source material is old.
