Suspense In The Tell Tale Heart

Suspense. I know I have heard about that somewhere. Where … where? What does it mean? It is on the tip of my tongue. Well to answer that question is that suspense is a type of writing. Suspense is when the creator or author hides something till the end. For example, take Harry Potter (the whole series). They never actually find out how to kill Voldemort until the end.

I have learned many things through suspense but the biggest thing was that you can never actually know anything about whatever is happening from a book to a person what exactly is going to happen. For example if it is a person you cannot just under they are bad because they make one mistake. You give them some chances.
