I think it's mainl...I will attempt an answer! <br /><br />I think it's mainly because the writer puts a character in an impossible situation. For it to work well, the reader cannot be able to guess the outcome. It looks like there's no way out, and so the reader will naturally start to wonder: "Wait, what if there really is no way out? How in the world will the character survive?"<br /><br />Harry Potter is a brilliant example. In every book it looks like there's just no way Harry can get out. Even in book seven he kind of dies! Almost! It seems like there's a chance it won't work out right up until the very end.<br /><br />Not easy to do, that's for sure.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.com
