How is suspense built into the story?

In my book "Bad" the suspence starts building up in the begining of the book. In the first chapters of the story Dallas, the main character, starts to build the suspence by hanging around the wrong people. This is starts to influence her into doing bad things and start behaving bad. One thing is for sure in the first chapters it says her mother is not in her life so I think this puts more pressure on her to do bad and listen to her friends more. Dallas starts to disrespect her father. In my opinion I think that since she didn't really have a female role madel or a mom to look up to she looks up, she might think it feels ok to do what her friends do because of that. Another thing that leads to the suspence of the climax is that Dallas starts hanging around this boy named Ray and he influences her to do bad. With Ray telling her what to do and her friends supporting Ray to make Dallas do wrong she gets into trouble by robbing the store with a gun.

My picture relates to the suspence that happens because in the story because Dallas gets arrested by police because she was robbing the store at gun piont rage just like the man in my picture so thats when the suspence happens and then she gets sent to juvie for the crime she commited.

Do you relate to your main character? How and why?

I relate to my main character in not many ways. I'm a good girl and the main character Dallas in the book "Bad" is not so good. Ever since her mother died she has been around negative people. She starts to hang out with this boy named Ray and eventually becomes her boyfriend. Dallas's father thinks Ray is a bad influnce on her. On the begining part of the book Dallas commits a crime and gets sent to "GRC." Me, as a person never done any thing bad. I have never disrespected my partens and never will. But we do have one thing in common. I sometimes hang around people that give me bad influnces, just like Dallas. Then later on during the day I have a temptation of doing whats wrong but I always think of what going to be the consequence. In some occassions I act without thinking. When I'm at those times I'm just like Dallas; I don't think about my father or mother and what there going to think or say about my actions. Me and Dallas have some negative things in common and we do relate.

My link relates in a different way but it explaines the same thing just like Dallas at one point she was a good girl that obeyed her parents then she started to "obey" [listen] to Ray and things got bad. King Neptune is supposed to be a good King but when he "obeys" plangton he dose bad and wants to kill Spongebob.
