Making Time Move Slowly

The Contents of The Dead Man's Pocket


It was eight minutes ago since he left his house and into the freezing outside world but it seems like hours have gone by. The author Mr. Finney made it seem like a long time by taking a lot of time describing about feelings. He takes something that is happening simultaneously in Tom's mind and present them sequentially to the readers. Also, the use of punctuation and comma series that makes something fast into a long paragraph and long sentences can really make time move slowly.

  1. Benson,

    This is way too short. You need to be aiming for 200 words MINIMUM for your journal entries. If you continue to write such short entries, I will have to deduct points.
