Simplified Meaning:
A novel exists to show and reflect what life is like. Imagine you read a book about someone going through tough times or happy moments. You see how they handle problems, deal with relationships, and navigate their world. This mirrors real-life experiences; stories often highlight emotions and situations that many of us face. Just like a painting captures a scene, a novel captures pieces of life. When you read a novel, it can give you new insights or help you feel like you are not alone in your experiences. This connection to real-life makes novels meaningful and valuable.
