There are a few key elements that contribute to an enjoyable story. To create enjoyment, the events, descriptions and characters in a story must fit together to immerse readers in the story by detaching them from reality. Using vivid descriptions for setting, mood, and character feelings is one of the effective tools writers use. in a good story. Giving readers a real sense of atmosphere or setting increases the chance that they will be immersed in what they are reading. “Situational believability” is another main factor that I believe contributes to the enjoyment of a story. If the reader can believe that the characters and the events they participate in can happen in real life, they can associate more freely with the story. The last feature that helps me enjoy a story is the presence of rhetorical questions, which further help to engage the reader by promoting critical thinking, thus increasing the enjoyment felt by the reader. The reader's ability to “see” the site, “smell” the smell, “taste” the taste is a crucial aspect that contributes to the enjoyment of a story. Baldwin, in "Sonny's Blues," puts a vivid picture in the reader's mind by describing a street scene: "The woman...whose face was bright with joy...a cigarette between her heavy, chapped lips, her hair was a cuckoo's nest, her face scarred and swollen... her black eyes sparkling like coal." The reader can “see” this scene unfold as the narrator progresses in his description. By putting readers in the narrator's shoes, Baldwin succeeds in “throwing” them into a setting allowing them to “participate” in the story. Through the use of such vivid imagery, the reader goes beyond reading. Similarly, in “Royal Beatings,” Munro describes the pain of a tumor as a “boiled egg” in the chest; Readers “feel” pain, they don’t just read it on a page. This allows them to appreciate the story. The situations presented throughout the plot of a story must not only be vivid, but also believable. Illogical and far-fetched ideas running through a story prevent readers from engaging in their reading, which directly diminishes their enjoyment. “Sonny’s Blues” depicts “real” problems faced by real people and is therefore very powerful and moving. Inner-city family struggles, youth pressures and blatant racism are among these problems. Readers feel, learn, and grow with the narrator as the plot progresses in this story..
