RE: How long to sea mail a package to the UK from australia? I can&#39;t seem to find a specific time period for how long it takes to mail packages to the UK through sea mail... except dates for Christmas deliveries, which are almost 3 months prior.
One thing a suspense date IS NOT, it is not a date by which time something is required to be done in most cases. It's just a control for any needed follow up. In the real world, a suspense date is a date that something needs to be done by.
Another way an author can create suspense is using a form of dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience or reader knows something that the characters do not know. A great example of dramatic irony used to create suspense occurs in Shakespeare's play Othello.
