Father (CNF story)

1. Uses suspense;

" The next day Father was hurt at work. A neck injury. Two days later he was dead." 

- based on my own understanding, i consider this part uses suspense. Because the author did not clarify clearly why his father died. It only says thst his father were hurt then turns out a neck injury and as a reader i am not satisfied of how how he defines his father's death. 

2.Showing instead of telling;

"when I raised my face to father's to ask if I could stop, he pointed to an area that I missed." 

-it shows an action which his father were pointing to an area without telling a single word. 

3.Sets little things;

"At the hospital I recall mother holding her hand over her eyes as if she was looking into a light." 

-it makes the reader like me visualized what's happening on the character in the story. 

4. Uses dialogue;

In the first paragraph the story uses a dialogue. 

"Put your thumb like this" as his father talked to him, I assure that this is a conversation which considered to be a dialogue. 

5. Uses a persona;

In the story, the author uses a person, we could really tell and easily find because of the "I's" that the author used. 

6. shows change in a character;

"An aunt whose face was twisted from crying looked at me and , feeling embarrassed, I lower my head to play with my fingers." 

-it shows changes in the none form of being sad of grief to embarrassment so quick. 

7.Grabs the readers attention;

"The next day Father was hurt at work, a neck injury. Two days later he was dead." 

-it hooks the readers attention to read more further in the story, because it pushes the readers to know what's next.
