the biggest structural component in this story is foreshadowing!!!

There are several structural characteristics of "The Open Window" that help create a feeling of surprise. One of them is how the author manipulates time. In order to do so, he uses flashbacks extensively. The best example is when Mr. Nuttel thinks of the words his sister said to him when he was about to go to the countryside. Through this flashback, we also learn that Mr. Nuttel has problems with his nerves.

The author also surprises us by not placing all the characters together at the same time. The fact that the aunt is upstairs and her husband is out allow for the surprise at the end to materialize.

Finally, the author builds the story with the expectation of a surprise, created through foreshadowing. However, he does not reveal what the surprise is until the very end, when it becomes inevitable.

Use the picture below to describe the concrete effects of globalization​
klemol [59]

Explanation:

The image below shows some effects of globalization. In the last image we see a boat full of people, symbolizing the era of great sailing, whose aim was to discover new commercial routes beyond its territory. Therefore, through this image we can see that man has always been eager to explore new places and expand his business in search of profitability, this is what happens in the phenomenon of globalization.

Globalization is a phenomenon that has impacted human interactions and has occurred due to new technologies, ease of movement and communication, which has enabled man to seek business beyond his country.

We can also see in other images overpopulated cities, polluting factories and work teams, which demonstrates how globalization has strengthened industrialization, the search for people for job opportunities in major world metropolises and how there is a multicultural environment in organizations, where it is necessary team creativity and innovation so that the company is well positioned and stands out in this globalized scenario where there is a lot of competitiveness.

How does Ibsen use dramatic irony to create the suspense
Sidana [21]

Ibsen uses drama and irony throughout the play to create the suspense in this passage.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The main consistency of " Doll's House" is dramatic irony. The play revolves around deep irony. There are situations where Nora does realize that the nurse was her only mother and the fact that she was going to leave her children. But the gap between the reality and outside look that is the pretending happy life of Nora, helps the play be more ironic.

The mismatch between the accurate and appearance throughout the play shows the ironic revolution. Ibsen uses drama and irony throughout the play to create the suspense in this passage.
