aposiopesis:     suddenly stopping a piece of writing or speech for emphasis

Example - the author's aposiopesis caused readers to fear the demise of their beloved protagonist.

[Paulrus]

this is a really cool idea for a topic
some of my faves are:
ameliorate - to improve (think the opposite of exacerbate)
eg. The situation was ameliorated by his intervention.
erudite - learned/educated
eg. He liked to pride himself on being erudite.
anomie - social instability, caused by erosion of values/standards. adjective form is anomic
eg. Society has deteriorated into a state of anomic self-indulgence.
iconoclasm - has two meanings; first one refers to the destruction of a culture's own religious icons, but the second (which is far more interesting imo) refers to the overthrowing or breaking of traditional ideas and conventions. adjective is iconoclastic, and a person who does this is called an iconoclast.
eg. His divergence from the standard conventions of poetry echoes the iconoclastic stance Owen deftly asserts in the title of the poem.

some of those might sound a bit tosser-y, but hopefully a couple might be useful for text response or something

Perhaps it wasn't too late to flee to South America, somewhere warm and beachy... The line starts to move, people are panicking, and the imposing figures of the invigilators does little to quell the nerves. He walks down the aisle like a prisoner on the green mile. Those windows looked awfully tempting, this exam hall was at least 2 stories up, right? Gradually the room fills as his peers organise their pens by colour shape and size, anything to distract themselves for the unforgiving void of white paper in front of them. The clock ticks over, and the sweat drips from his face, tarnishing the page long before his pen has the chance. Instructions are given, but it's too late for that, this is the end.
He opens the booklet, and-

An interestingly written examination experience, nonetheless.
