Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, period 2 by Leslie Hefler https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg How does Serling create suspense in this story? en-us 2018-07-19 17:55:04 UTC 2019-12-10 06:05:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Nicholas Garcia https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418601072 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. ]]> 2019-12-02 17:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418601072 Izel Avalos iaval25_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418607829 Rod Serling creates suspense when appliances and electricity systems aren't working for the whole street. This brings suspense to the reader because nobody knows what's going on. He also starts to create suspense when Charlie kills "Pete Van Horn", because he wasn't a threat to them. The suspense is real when everyone starts blaming each other because the reader is also trying to figure out who the threat really is. Rod Serling causes suspense to the reader with mystery problems. ]]> 2019-12-02 17:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418607829 Aaron O'Neill https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418613421 He creates suspense when charlie had a shotgun and a dark figure which is really Pete Van Horn slowly walks toward them and they don't know what or who it is. ]]> 2019-12-02 17:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418613421 Alejandra Pascual apasc25_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418621522 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!]]> 2019-12-02 17:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418621522 Lorence Nicholas https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418623403 Rod Serling created suspense in the story by making conflict between the people that live on maple street. Rod Serling made this conflict in the story so readers would get interested and would want to keep reading and read or watch what would happen next. ]]> 2019-12-02 17:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418623403 Amber Robles arobl252_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418865427 One example of the author (Rod Serling) creating suspense in the story was on page 25 where he writes "The dark figure continues to walk toward them. The group there, fearful, apprehensive, mothers clutching children". This creates suspense because it uses words such as fearful and apprehensive to set a eerie tone. It also shows that something awful is going to happen soon and gives the reader a sense of dread.]]> 2019-12-03 03:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/418865427 Jullian Alvarez jalva251_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419185823 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.]]> 2019-12-03 17:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419185823 Georgio Saikaly gsaik25_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419185999 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 young mother grabs her boy as do a couple of others." This creates suspense because everyone thought it was going to be a monster, but it turned out being just a man. ]]> 2019-12-03 17:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419185999 Carlos Valladares cvall25_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419188528 One example of Rod Serling creating suspense in the story is when Pete Van Horn is walking towards the crowd. This is because it states that he slowly walks toward the crowd and it refers to him as a figure. One way that he creates suspense is how stuff suddenly happens (Light bulbs go on, cars start, etc.) and then the people start accusing each other.]]> 2019-12-03 17:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419188528 Samantha Coble scobl25_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419379756 `Sterling creates suspense by having the in a constant craized state of FEAR like when the car turns on its own they repeat themselves and start to turn creating a fearful atmosphere.

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!"]]> 2019-12-04 03:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419450655 Anthony Lopez https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419822175 One way the author created suspense was when the dark figure was walking towards them and then charlie shoots Van Horn.

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). ]]> 2019-12-04 18:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/419844372 Jordyn Seales jseal25_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/420616214 Rod Sterling creates suspense when the dark figure comes toward Charlie. This is suspenseful because Charlie does not know what the figure is or why it is going towards him. Some characters grab their children, and a woman lets out a stifled cry. This also creates suspense because everyone in the neighborhood was scared because they thought the dark figure was a monster. Then suddenly, Charlie pulls the trigger, shooting Pete Van Horn. ]]> 2019-12-06 05:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/420616214 Catherine Nguyen https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421272826 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 for this is when the dark figure appears and starts to come towards them, only to be shot by Charlie. The way the author describes him makes it seem that he a threat, only for him to be revealed as Peter Van Horn, the man who went to check whether another street still had lights.]]> 2019-12-08 19:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421353872 Richard Garcia https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421424444 The Author creates suspense by not reveling what the dark shadow moving towards them is until Charlie shot it already and then turns out to be Pete Van Horn]]> 2019-12-09 02:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421424444 Marina Torres https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421444407 One way the author, Rod Serling, created suspense was when a figure came walking from the darkness toward the group. Charlie did not know who it was which gave the story suspense wondering what it was. The author uses vocabulary that makes the story seem suspenseful and makes the figure seem like it is something they all should be worried about. It then turns out to be Pete Van Horn, who gets shot. He also creates suspense when everyone starts to accuse each other. Also, when lights start to turn on in some of the neighbors houses. The part of the story that probably gave the most suspense was when you find out what the monsters are actually trying to do. ]]> 2019-12-09 04:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421444407 Skyler Bustamante https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421716614 One way Rod Serling creates suspense is when a dark figure walks toward them from a alley. Charlie was holding a shotgun and said he was going to shoot the figure which was pete van horn.

The electricity went out, out of nowhere, when they hears a roar and saw a flash of light. Rod Serling uses a great suspense to the introduction that once you read the electricity went out, it makes you more into the story and creates more curiosity on what will be happening next. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723452 Angelina Siswati https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723507 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.]]> 2019-12-09 17:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723507 Jaida Brown https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723870 The author, Rod Serling, created suspense when everyone saw a shadow approaching they thought it was an alien but before we knew it was actually Pete Van Horn we were shocked when charlie shot and killed him. Everybody was to worried to even have a quick thought of it being Pete Van Horn. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723870 Sofia Antonio https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723940 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. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421723940 Marina Rosas https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724023 One way the author Rod Serling creates suspense when the dark figure walks towards the group of families. It is suspense because Charlie and the grown ups do not know what it is. It was not helpful when Tommy yelled monster to freak everyone out.]]> 2019-12-09 17:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724023 Cristiana Toruno ctoru25_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724224 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.]]> 2019-12-09 17:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724224 Sarina Rai srai25_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724314 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.]]> 2019-12-09 17:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724314 Janika Tomines https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724480 One way the author Rod Serling creates suspense was when the electricity went off and mostly everything didn't work.

When they heard all these voices, it made me wonder what would happen later in the story. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421724480 Sebastien Roque https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421725989 The author Rod Serling created suspences at the start of the story when They hear a loud roar and see flashof light and 6:43 pm and then power goes off and no one can trun there car on.]]> 2019-12-09 17:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421725989 Rosalba Barba https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421726547 An example of suspense in the story is when the boy named Tommy started saying that whatever was in that thing that flew over them didn't want them to leave were they were. "(Tommy) Mr. Brand...you better not! (Steve) why not (Tommy) They don't want us to (Steve and Charlie exchange a grin. Steve looks towards the boy). (Steve) who doesn't want us to? (Tommy) (Jerks his head in the general direction of the distant horizon)Them (Steve) Them? (Charlie) who are them? (very intently) (Tommy) who ever was in that thing that came overhead. (Steve knits his brow for a moment, cocking his head questioningly.His voice is intense.) What? (Tommy) who ever was in that thing that came over. I don't think they want us to leave here. (Steve) what do you mean? what are you talking about Tommy (Tommy) They don't want us to leave. That's why they shut everything off." When Tommy said all of this Steve and charlie were trying not to be scared and figure out what Tommy was talking about and when they had an idea of what he was talking about they tried to calm down but they also wanted to figure out if he was right or not.

It read " The dark figure continues to walk toward them. The group stands there, fearful, apprehensive. Mothers clutch their children, men stand in front of their wives. Charlie slowly raises the gun. As the figure gets closer and closer he suddenly pulls the trigger." This quote creates suspense in the story because it gives you a feeling of uncertainty and excitement toward what is going to happen next, The key words that give you this feeling is when he says the dark figure walks toward them. That gave the reader the feeling of suspense because we didn't know whether it was a monster or a hero so when the trigger was pulled there was an excitement that ran through my veins to find out who the mysterious figure was.]]> 2019-12-09 17:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421728474 Michayla Carrasco https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/7gxuh355d8dg/wish/421728957 The author created suspense in this story by showing the characters faces to show how shocked, scared ,or confused.
