.... to the student, he may not even bother to read the book, however, since it is forced upon him, it would be read in a hurry. If a novel is read in a hurry, the joy of reading it is lost because the reader would most likely look over the words just enough to understand the plot but would not go in detail. The detail in a novel is very important since it helps create atmosphere and mood which results in the reader beginning to imagine himself as the character. In some novels, for example, just the details of the surroundings of the character's location take seven to eight pages to explain and if the detail is missed, the reader fails to imagine the intended atmosph ....
