Next we're going to watch a short clip from the movie Vertical Limit.  After watching the clip answer the following questions.
1. How did you feel as you were watching the clip?
2. Why do you think the clip ended when it did?
3. Based your responses to questions 1 and 2 how would you define suspense in your own words?

Depending on how much time remains we'll begin reading a short story titled, The Monkey's Paw.
