Compare what child and slaughter think about suspense. based on their ideas and your own ideas about suspense, explain what you think is the most effective way to build suspense.

Child’s idea that suspense is created through delaying answers is the most effective way to create suspense. People can’t help but want to know answers. This is true whether or not they care about the people in the story. However, Child seems to think any unanswered questions create suspense, and I think the questions have to be about bad or dangerous situations.

it takes hundreds of years to become stable.

if you have another question lmk.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
