I think my last lit term!!

Lierary Term #12

Details
  • page 93: "We ate the sandwiches and drank the Chablis and watched the country field out of the window. The grain was just beginning to ripen and the fields were full of poppies. The pastureland was green, and there were fine trees, and sometimes big rivers and chateaux off in the trees."

So, this story has a ton of details throughout the entire book. I am not sure why, but this short paragraph really stood out for some reason. It just really makes me feel like I am there. I can see the fields and feel like I am right there with them. This is what details should do, and that's why I wanted to discuss this part. Details are the reason I liked this book. I could vividly picture each scene while reading. I think that is what made this book more enjoyable! It was confusing at times, not gunna lie, but I could visualize things a lot easier while reading and could figure out where things were taking place and the mood. Speaking of mood, details make this noticable! When reading this paragraph, I felt just relaxed and calm. The details made me have the ablity to feel that. I have said this plenty of times, but this engages the reader.
