Me ! it's e2020! review the line from karin slaughter's npr interview."and with each page, that's what i try to do- is say something different about the character, something different in the reactions when they find these horrible things that are happening, or they figure out a piece of the puzzle."how does this view contract with lee child's central idea in "a simple way to create suspense"? a • child feels that the characters are not important to the plot. slaughter feels characters are central. b • child feels that characters must be unattractive and uninteresting. slaughter feels they must have reactions. c • slaughter builds suspense through her characters. child builds suspense by delaying answers. d • slaughter builds suspense by writing puzzles. child builds suspense by telling anecdotes.
