PRIMERA PARTE
A story is entertainment. As entertainment, it must interest and divert you. That is a
story must capture your attention. A story is a special kind of entertainment, for
requires the participation of the reader. He must shut out the world around him and,
momentarily, even his own affairs. A good reader does not simply let the story
happen to him. He gets into the story and read with his eyes and ears open. He
reads with his mind and his heart. A good reading is a re-creation in which the
reader works along with the reader.
