Question

Why do many stories include details that appeal to the senses? Give an example of a detail from the Student Model or another selection from the unit that appeals to the sense of hearing.

Answer 1

Many stories include details that appeal to the senses because they intrigue the reader. It makes the story more interesting and better to read. Compare the sentences as an example:

1. I entered the bakery and smelled good smells.

2. I entered the bakery and immediately smelled the lemon flavored cakes calling me to eat them. The amasing smells pushed me on to admire the beautiful pastry’s on display.

Sentence 2 is much more interesting, isn’t it?
