What can a writer do to surprise readers in a story?

They can throw something random in the book

Ex: The woods were quite there were no noises... then they heard rusleing from behind them! they turn around to see a Chicken?

Get it now? How the writer can surprise you? Hope it helps!

(i can't select because there is no options but, i will answer) using evidence effectively. most of the assignments you will do in university will ask you to make an argument, to take a stance, or to prove a hypothesis. the best way to do this is to research the topic, develop a thesis statement, hypothesis, or claim and then use evidence to support this claim.
