Frozen
Frozen is a famous film and book. It involves
three friends on a ski trip, who unfortunately get stuck on a ski lift (without
any one knowing). When one friend attempts to escape and save the rest, ends up
with a broken leg and eventually gets eaten by mountain wolves. His friend then
tries to do the same thing. After a few long, cold hours, he also gets eaten by
wolves. The girl finally manages to escape the cold terrifying thought of
wolves eating her alive. She is saved by sneaking away to a road when she's
rescued after seconds of giving up.
This a horrifying book/film of everybody's
ski trip nightmare. Unlike touching the void this is a fictional book. But
similar stories may have happened.

English homework touching the void.
The writer ,Joe simpson,
structures the text to vary the tension by using similes or metaphors to create
vivid sensations for example, “ Cold had long since won the battle,” this is a
metaphor. This creates tension because it makes you think and makes you ask
yourself questions.
Another way the writer creates tension is by short sentences or miner sentences used for effect for example, “so! It ends here. Pity!” This creates tension by making the reader think. It breaks the sentence up and makes you read it slower.
Punctuation that acts to slow down or speeds up the pace also creates tension, for example, “ reality had become a nightmare, and sleep beckoned insistently; a black hole calling me, pain-free, lost in time, like death.” this creates tension because its make you read it faster you want to know what is going to happen next.
Repetition of key phrases or words creates tension as well, for example, “ Bottomless. I thought idly. No they’re never bottomless. I wonder how deep will it go? To the bottom … to the water at the bottom? God! I hope not!” Like the punctuation it makes you want to know more and it makes you read it faster, this also makes you think.
