Question
Answer the following question in about 40-50 words.
Douglas uses sensory details to create a vivid image of the unfortunate experience in the pool. What might be the impact on the reader if the narration were more informative than sensory?
Solution
If more informative than sensory, the impact on the reader would likely be less emotional and engaging as:
- sensory details help readers connect with the experience being described on a deeper level.
- sensory details allow readers to visualize the scene in their minds and feel like they are a part of it.
Even though informative details may provide more factual information but can sometimes feel detached and impersonal, leaving readers feeling less connected to the story.
