How Does Andres Create Tension In 'Talking In Whispers'?

In the novel 'Talking In Whispers' by James Watson, it is about a teenager trying to get his own life back in a world where people are deceiving and unfair. It is an exciting and uncompromising political thriller, that voices out things about certain parts of the world dealing with human rights in an everyday crisis. In this analysis, I have analyzed several fractured narratives in the novel. Andres is the main character in the novel - and is someone that the writer wants to sympathize. Therefore, the writer used a fractured narrative so that he could create tension and sympathy in his novel.

The writer had made a huge contrast - from a stadium of triumph and glory to people being shot. In the scene when introducing the Silver Lion,
the president manipulated the truth through newspaper about the death of Juan Larreta (Andres's father) which then made Andres furious as he was the one who saw the truth. This gives a feeling of anger and sympathy as the reader visualizes himself in Andres's position. This make the reader think - how would it feel like to lose someone you are really close to, and read lies about the eye witnessed truth that his father was beaten, kicked and arrested by the CNI?
This portrays that the generals were corrupt, powerful and influential to hide the truth that they were the ones who were responsible for the death of two singers and captivity of one singer. Overall, the writer has used some dramatic irony and created tension to keep the readers interested, therefore it brings up a lot of suspense, and also helps the readers visualize how the life used to be in Chile many years ago, when Augusto Pinochet used to rule Chile. The writer also emphasizes on how corrupt, crooked and taint the dictators and government
