DONT LOOK IT UP! (: A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?

Was he walking? I think I did this last year in school

Revealing the outcome of the plot in the prologue can be an effective technique for creating suspense, depending on the type of text we are reading. If the text is meant to conclude in a surprising or unexpected way, and the story is more about the outcome than about the journey, then revealing this conclusion could ruin the story. However, some stories reveal the ending at the very beginning, and this does not mean that the story stops being interesting. An example of this is the story "The Death of Ivan Ilyich."
