MIDDLE:
Confound the hour he entered my shop! I am a revolutionary but not a murderer. And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No! No one deserves the sacrifice others make in becoming assassins. What is to be gained by it? Nothing. Others and still others keep coming, and the first kill the second, and then these kill the next, and so on until everything becomes a sea of blood. I could cut his throat, so, swish, swish! He would not even have time to moan, and with his eyes shut he would not even see the shine of the razor or the gleam in my eye.
–"Lather and Nothing Else,”

END:
Thanks,” he said. He walked to the wardrobe for his belt, his pistol, and his cap. I must have been very pale, and I felt my shirt soaked with sweat. Torres finished adjusting his belt buckle, straightened his gun in its holster, and smoothing his hair mechanically, put on his cap. From his trousers pocket he took some coins to pay for the shave. And he started toward the door. On the threshold he stopped for a moment, and turning toward me, he said, "They told me you would kill me. I came to find out if it was true. But it’s not easy to kill. I know what I’m talking about.”

Sample Response: In the middle of the story, the author uses a fast pace to build suspense while the narrator is going back and forth about whether or not to kill the captain. This creates a stressful mood that is similar to the stress the narrator feels. In the last paragraph, the narrator has made a decision, and the pace slows down with longer, descriptive sentences as the captain slowly gets ready to leave the barbershop. The author used different paces in these parts in order to build suspense through the story and then resolve the conflict in the end.

When comparing the story's middle and finish, we can see that the author uses a quick pacing technique in the middle to create suspense before coming to the end to settle the problem.

What is the pace of the end of the story?

By explaining the end of the story event that causes the story to become tedious, the suspense that is building up to the conclusion of the tale is exposed.

The reader is introduced to the characters at the beginning of the novel, and the fast-paced middle section has readers on the edge of their seats as events unfold across the scenes in an unexpectedly swift and sharp manner. As the story nears its conclusion, the pace calms down to allow the reader to catch their breath.
