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.

Helga [31]

"American paleontology got a bad reputation from Cope and Marsh's cutthroat behavior", states J. R. Hill in the article The Bone Wars and it is true because they were worried about fame and who was a better paleontologist and did not worried about science.

In the text this shows when it says:

"The mistakes they made in the rush for glory slowed the progress of paleontology for many years".

"In addition to sabotaje, Cope and Marsh forced their teams to dig up and transport bones quickly. Such speed damaged many specimens, but each man wanted the credit of making the first discoveries of new species".
