Question

How does Iswaran describe the uprooted tree on the highway? What effect does he want to create in his listeners?

Answer 1

Iswaran describes the uprooted tree on the highway with a dramatic gesture of his palms extended and appropriately arched eyebrows. He would start out by pretending he was alone and the route was deserted. Abruptly, he caught sight of what appeared to be a massive, hairy creature stretched out over the street. He felt a slight want to turn around and retreat. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was a fallen tree, its dry branches splayed out. He wants his readers to feel suspense and be surprised by the resolution of each little episode he tells them about.
