One way the author creates suspense in the story is on page 11-12 when the towns people blame Charlie for killing Pete Van Horn. The story quotes, "As the figure gets closer and closer he suddenly pulls the trigger. The sound of it explodes in the stillness. There is a long shot looking down at the figure, who suddenly lets down a small cry, stumbles forward onto his knees and then falls forward on his face. Don, Charlie, and Steve race forward towards him. Steve is there first and turns the man over. Now the crowd gathers around them.] [Slowly looks up.] It's Pete Van Horn." When the characters find out that the person who was shot was a friend of theirs, it creates suspense with the reader because something unexpected had just happened. Once plot twists happen, it catches the readers attention more, it makes the reader want to find out what happens next.

I believe that one way Rod Sterling creates suspense in his story is when each character accuses another. For example, when Charlie accused Tommy, you would naturally believe Charlie, mostly because of specific reasons, like how Tommy knew about the monsters/aliens that even existed. But the most suspense was at the end, when you find out about the aliens and what they did, makes you think about what they might do next, to the other neighborhoods, even the rest of the world!

He Created suspense by making the people in Maple Street constantly accuse each other of being a monster or otherworldly being. This creates suspense by moving on the blame to someone different and you never truly know who the monster or alien. This lasts all the way through the story until you reach the end and learn that all the people in Maple Street are all figurative monsters.

One way that the author Rod Serling creates suspense is when in the story he stated that, "the figure walks slowly toward them. One of the women lets out a stifled cry.

The author creates suspense by demonstrating mob mentality on to the characters. As they go around accusing each other of being an alien spy, their close and friendly relationships turn sour. Their accusations get worse and worse which then eventually leads to murder. The blame of the murder is then shifted to a minor which only continues this mob mentality. An example of this in the text stated, "Woman: But it was the kid here who knew what was going to happen all the time. He was the one who knew!"

The author, Rod Serling creates suspense by using different vocabulary words and starting the story with a mysterious tone. Another way he creates suspense is by having the characters turn against each other. For example, in the beginning of the story the neighbors were at peace and communicating with each other (as neighbors should), but after Tommy's statement, the characters were accusing one another. Unfortunately, because of the street's people's actions, one of the neighbors get's shot by Charlie (which adds to the suspense).

Then suddenly, Charlie pulls the trigger, shooting Pete Van Horn.

The author, Rod Serling, creates suspense through the story, "Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", by using figurative language, and unique vocabulary. For example on page 35 and 36 the narrative stated, "A figure has suddenly materialized in the gloom and in the silence we can hear the clickety-clack of slow, measured footsteps on concrete as

the figure walks slowly toward them.". By using figurative language, in this case onomatopoeia it gave color to the writing as well as it fits the theme creating a large suspense since nobody knows what/who is making the noise. Unique vocabulary also draws the readers in to keep reading the narrative and find out what happens.

An example of Rod Serling creating suspense is when Pete Van Horn walks back to Maple St. in the dark. Before we find out the person walking back is Pete,  he just appears as a shadowy figure. This causes everyone, including the readers, to suspect that it may be one of the aliens that are causing the power outage. Really, there was suspense throughout the story before Pete Van Horn's death. After Tommy  talks about alien families, suspense takes over the story. Anyone could have been the "alien family". Due to this suspense, Charlie shoots the figure that is later discovered to be Pete Van Horn out of fear.

One suspense that Rod Serling might have made during the story was when Pete Van Horn had went to go check on what happened with the power outage in the beginning of the story and also how Tommy had explained how the outage had been caused by aliens or monsters. Then once the story hits towards the middle of the story Rod Serling describes Pete Van Horn as a Dark figure walking towards the crowd and Tommy saying the dark figure was the monster. Although Rod Serling describes Pete as this type of dark figure since nobody knew it had been Pete van Horn. This can cause the reader to feel suspense in a way that maybe Tommy could be right. This can also cause the reader to feel some type of suspense in the following way of not knowing who or what the dark figure is or could be. The reader might think the dark figure can also be a harmful creature trying to harm the crowd. Lastly This can cause suspense to the reader on what the crowd might do to the figure. There can be more results on why might the reader feel suspense but these 3 ideas could also be possible on the impact of the reader to feel suspense.

The author of "Monster Are Due On Maple Street", Rod Sterling, built suspense by giving details of the feelings of the protagonists in the story. Such as, the way he gives stutters to characters who are being accused or the uproars from the crowd. Though, the part that had the most suspense is the cutscene where the aliens take place and tell their plan that forshadows dramatic irony for maple street and other places one by one.

One way the author Rod Serling created suspense was when he described Pete Van Horn as a dark figure coming closer and closer, this caused fear in the readers since how he described it made the character seem eerie and creepy. The author kept the suspense going by describing all the characters as scared and paranoid while the main characters tried to figure it out, he carried on the suspense by saying Charlie grabbed the gun from Steves had and slowly turned it toward the street and kept it there until he suddenly pulled the trigger. This part of the story is suspenseful since the author describes everything in depth to make it more eerie then gave it a sudden scary ending. Another way the author creates suspense in the story is by using vocabulary and descriptions that make certain parts of the story seem eerie or scary, for example when all the lights on the street shut down he describes it as confusing and creepy since nothing turned on. If the author did not use this type of vocabulary it would have changed the entire theme, because the author has to keep with the theme of the story he uses more dramatic vocabulary to make it seem creepy. Both these parts create suspense in the story and there is a lot more suspense in the story, these are just a few examples.
