Ellipsis

Ellipsis cause tension because they have immediate stops and link sentences together and can also end the sentence with a cliff hanger they are very useful because it makes it more exciting than just a full stop. Ellipsis keeps the reader on the edge of their seat as it leads to the end which forms a cliff hanger.

Alliteration

Alliteration, when used in a negative way, causes repetition of sounds that can create a sense of tension. For example, the repetition of ‘S’ sounds can replicate snake like sounds, making the sentence more tense for the reader.  It is repetition of an initial which makes the reader think why the writer has used that type of language.

Rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions are very good for building up tension as the reader is pressured into continually thinking throughout the story.  Rhetorical questions expand the sentence and will leave the reader with many unanswered questions.  Rhetorical questions don’t just leave the reader thinking but leave the story on a cliff hanger which could leave to more than one answer.

Short sentences

Short sentences make tension in a story because it builds up to the information of the story and makes you want to read more.  Short sentences also build tension because they help to create suspense in the story.  Short sentences build tension by only revealing a small amount of information – leaving the reader on the edge of their seat, wanting to know what will happen next.  The time from the first full stop to the second is so short it creates an overwhelming amount of suspense (tension) from only a small amount of information.
