Twins- Eric Wright

Q. How does Eric Wright provide his readers with clues to the outcome of this story?
A. The writer provides clues to the outcome of the story when the main character is a detective. Eric Wright employs his own wife to re-enact the death of the main character's wife from his novel. Little does she know the book is about to become a true story.

Q. Explain the term”In the middle of things”
A. The term in medias res the “middle of things,” can be used to describe the opening of the story. (“His wife often criticized his plots for being to complicated, but this one worked”) The author uses this line in middle of the story when he explains to his wife how he will murder her. This sentence gives you clues to what the out come will be.

Q. Describe the difference in narrative style between the two parts of the story. Determine why the author choses each style and the effectiveness.
A. The two narrative styles in the story are a dialogue style and informative styles. Dialogue is in present tense and is the direct word that are spoken. Informative which is past tense and is describing what happened. The author choses dialogue because it tells the story in great details and choses informative to cut to the chase.

Q.How does the writer use our expectations to surprise us with the twist?
A. The writer uses our expectation to surprise us with the twist by r enacting the scene from his novel he is writing about to make it based on a true story. This works because you wouldn't expect a loving husband to kill his wife.
