Does the story rely more on the use of detail or on plot to get its pointacross?

What will be an ideal response?



  • The story relies much more on detail than on plot. In fact, there’s hardly anything in this text that could even be described as a plotline. Even the episode involving the nun from the narrator’s school is a brief anecdote. The narrator describes the house into which her family has moved and matches it up, detail by detail, with the dream house that her parents have always dangled before the children. It is through these descriptions and the contrast between them that the point of the story is vividly and unmistakably conveyed.
