10) Explain the power of the void in this experience:
a. No title/author information- kept me thinking why would they give us a book with no name or title? are we going to to have to find out who wrote this
b. No ending: i was disappointed because at the end we all had guesses of what will happen and when i wanted to know if i was right it ends up there was no end and it made me very disappointed and others annoyed
c. Text clues and foreshadowing throughout: they said that the corn would be more if they followed tradition and at first i didn't understand well what he was talking about until the end.
d. Mystery paper- i liked this part because it was like a test of who would follow instructions and the temptations it brings.
e. Delayed ending: i don't think it was a big effect because i knew it was going to be the ending and i knew it was going to be homework because someone told me so the effect wasn't that great
f. Anything else that created tension and conflict for you. Why did we take the paper out of a black box andd why did some people have black dots on theirs ?

1) What would you call this story? Why? the Black spot because that determined if you were going to die or not and i thought that was what the whole story was about
