The focus of which section? Write it into the correct section The focus shifts to the inner thoughts of the character. We realise the woman thinks she is being stalked. The setting is established and then the main character is introduced- a frightened woman. The focus then shifts to the woman struggling to unlock the door to her home. The reader thinks she is safe. This is the climax- an unexpected and frightening twist. She is not safe! The cliff-hanger is not knowing what happens next.<br>

1 The setting is established and then the main character is introduced- a frightened woman. We now need to highlight a quote to support our opening structure point:

Only a little way she prayed
Now run! Across the bridge!
A summer night silence
Silence!
She told her legs what to do
Faster, faster! She went down the steps.<br>

‘faster, faster! She went down the steps.’
Why has the text opened in this way?<br>

Opening PEES The writer has structured the text to interest the reader by opening in the middle of the action, with a girl running away from something/someone.
This is demonstrated in the quote ‘Faster, faster! She went down the steps.’
The pace here is fast and energetic due to the short sentences and tension begins to build. It seems she is outside, alone and afraid.
By opening the text in this way, it makes the reader feel intrigued as we wonder what/who is frightening the girl. At the same time, however, we are also worried and concerned for her safety. P E E S Highlight the key structure words, and words that relate to the reader <br>
