Author's choices: why this word, why this way, sentence 5

A chapter that is one word long, «Silence.», is not lazy: it stops you dead, and you feel the quiet.

Who acts: chapter, you · What happens: be, not be, stop, feel · To what, where: one word, you, quiet

This is a sentence of the lesson «Author's choices: why this word, why this way» of the english course of Mova's primary school.
