From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the d

oor with the key I’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My hand touched my skin—the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as I lunged for the door. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

The author uses very vague and mysterious phrases such as "as the website had promised" and " unlock the door with the key I had been sent.". Because he doesn't reveal who or what sent him/ brought him to that home, we question why he is there and what is going to happen next (Good or Bad). This can be seen in movies too. Typically writers will leave out key information to make us think and wonder. Hope that helped! :))

How does Gogol use techniques like irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor?
konstantin123 [22]

Gogol is best known for his use of irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor and a sense of existential weariness. In some of his works, like <em>The Nose, Diary of a Madman, </em>and even in his unfinished novel, <em>Dead Souls, </em>he famously takes advantage of a single element, like a nose that has lost its owner, the royal ravings of an office clerk, or the business behind recollecting dead souls, respectively, and extrapolates this element to make it englobe and define his fictional characters, this then puts the characters in very absurd situations that, even though they cause hilarity, leave the reader with a sense of dread and even horror, the irony being that, though existence be dreadful, it is, nonetheless, comical to a point of absurdity.

<span> The reason that protecting our information is important is so that people can be sure about who really sent them information. The evidence is a hypothetical situation about how a criminal could steal money by pretending to be someone else if encryption wasn't possible. The reason and evidence logically support the claim because they show one way that the Information Age would not be successful – people could easily steal money – if information is not protected. </span>
