What methods does Harper Lee use to build up the sense of danger in chapter 10?
Harper Lee uses various methods to build up the sense of danger in chapter ten. Lee makes the mood very tense by making the characters' dialogue sound panicky and urgent. Lee uses imagery quite a lot by describing the surroundings around the scene that is going on. The 'mad dog' being described in the scene is put across as though it was a person, rather than an animal.
Some good points, especially about the personification of the dog
ReplyDeleteI like how you picked up on the dailogue in the text, I also felt tis was really infective in building the tention.xxx
