This Google Doc helps students analyze the suspense King uses in chapter 2 of The Mist, which was originally published in Skeleton Crew. The text-based analytical questions focus on King's development of suspense based on his creation of strong characters. Students will fill in a chart for David, Billy, Steff, Mr. Norton, and Mrs. Carmody. They will record the characters' relationship to the narrator, character traits, text evidence for support, and how the character contributes to the suspense in the text. There's also two bonus questions asking about the Arrowhead Project and King's use of cliffhangers. A suggested answer key is provided!
