Chapter II-For Greater Things

He is awkward in play, oblivious to danger, and unteachable in manners, despite his deep yearning to belong. The family debates his worth…-

Chapter II continues with an exploration into how fiction distills life rather than replicating it. The author insists that while a novel might appear complex on the surface, its strength often lies in its underlying simplicity. Great novels, like great paintings, use clear strokes that sharpen a specific human truth rather than crowding the canvas with every detail of reality. Through focused intention, fiction can illuminate the subtleties of emotion or the weight of circumstance with greater clarity…
