Firstly, the author uses internal conflict to create tension in the passage. Eragon “grasped his knife” when he woke up and he “yanked the knife from its sheath” when he heard a squeak. The author uses internal conflict to show that Eragon was very nervous about the unusual sound and therefore grasped the small knife for protection. The author was successful as Eragon’s nervousness makes the readers feel anxious for Eragon as the description implies that danger is about to strike and they didn’t know what to expect.
