Suspense (Danny)

Capote builds up suspense by using a method of only giving little bites of the crime to the reader and he makes it sound more interesting then what it is. Capote only gives us details of what’s going to happen at the end of the book. At the end of each chapter the four members of the family ends the chapter saying something that is related to death or as if they knew what was going to happen to them. I think capote uses this method to keep the reader reading the book to the end of the book. Because the reader is probably thinking while reading that the murder is going to happen at the end of the first chapter or the beginning of the second one. I also think that he does this to keep the story interesting why, well because it wouldn’t of been the same if he just say’s the murder in the first chapter it wouldn’t be a story there but the way he does it, he explains everything and keeps on giving little bites of what is going to happen. I like this method that he uses because it makes the story more interesting, it wants to make me keep on reading the story more and see what’s going to happen. The way he wrote the story makes you doubt if the family is really going to be killed or if a member of the family is going to survived.
