In fact, I think a good video game accentuates the qualities of a good story.<br /><br />I disagree that Sense of Accomplishment is harder to apply to reading a book, because when you get down to it, that's what reading a book is all about. It's not about describing a scene, or communicating information, or even following along a quest; it's about sympathizing with the characters and their plight, and identifying with their losses and gains. So yeah, even if a book doesn't have a happy ending, or even if it's a non-fiction book, it should leave the reader with a sense of "Wow, I've experienced something."<br /><br />-TimKAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317561917487132989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-22919252370937127392009-12-29T11:48:41.790-08:002009-12-29T11:48:41.790-08:00Thanks!
