Document Summary
A story is not like a road to follow it"s more like a house. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you. Realism: realistic writers seek to write fictional narratives that present a plausible world. Include a variety of concrete details meant to ground their story lines in human experience. Live in the back of a store in a bad side of town. Rose identifies what"s funny about it is that its sort of just a paint cover up.
