I'm not stupid, this sounds like a question you'd get for homework

If you think of a short sentence, it's quick and snappy. When someone is tense or panicky, they normally don't speak a lot and if they do, they speak fast in short sentences.

Thank you so much, I did think of that but I didn't know how to put it in words. Much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

How does a short sentence, or a simple sentence, create tension or how does it interest the reader?

That's for you to think for yourself, I'm not doing your homework

A minor sentence, such as 'Help.' 'Fascinating.' 'So Quiet.', is purely descriptive and can be used as exclamatory point; so can be used for effect: tension, alarm, awe, or convey some other feeling.

A simple sentence, which has one verb or clause, makes sense on its own. But by limiting the information, you achieve a dramatic effect such as suspense, intrigue.

Minor and Simple sentences can also be a structural feature in speech or text. Minor can be used as discourse markers, signposts, such as a teacher introducing a topic in the classroom: 'Enzymes. Who ...', or a suspenseful thriller: 'Chilling. The ...'

Simple sentences can be used as a statement that is later explained (like in essays), or a dramatic point that intrigues the reader in a text, or a means to convey action etc etc

There are way too many examples to share.

Thank you, that helps! I will definitely refer to this during my analysis. Do you mind explaining how simple sentences convey actions? I understand, but I would like to explain it further if that makes sense.

Thank you again, much appreciated.
