11. This is one of the only stories where the reader does not know the ending in advance. Why might O'Brien want this story to be particularly suspenseful?
A: O''Brien might want this story to be suspenseful so the reader can understand the meaning of the ending and realize that not every story can be easily predicted. He might want the readers to understand that even through negative events, there can be positive outcomes. Throughout the whole chapter, O'Brien had his heart set on getting revenge for the way Jorgenson treated him. At the end, the two become friends. Also, O'Brien may have wanted the story to remain suspenseful so the readers will stay interested.
