Planning a section of a narrative based on 'The Borrowers' (part 2)

The purpose of the build-up is to build action and suspense leading up to the climax. In this section of the build-up, Arrietty explores the outside world and spots the eye of a human “bean”. The atmosphere and Arrietty’s emotions shift after she spots the eye. A range of precise and ambitious vocabulary, including ‘show and tell’ language, is used to describe key moments. ‘Show and tell’ language shows a character’s feelings by describing their actions, body language and facial expressions.
