The greatest use of suspense in LOTF can be found in Chapter 7. Now, in this chapter, Ralph, Jack, and the hunters are trying to hunt the "beast". Towards the end of the Chapter, Ralph, Jack, and Roger begin to climb the mountain where the fire is. As they slowly make their way up and inch closer to the fire, a feeling of suspense begins to grow. As they finally make it to the top, they begin to walk slowly towards the space between those two rocks. Here, the suspense is as great as it will get. Suddenly, the wind blows and the "beast" looks up, and the three boys run for their lives.
