With enough Reinforcement injected into your story, your audience will become emotionally involved whether they like it or not, and once you’ve got them emotionally hooked, they’ll stick around to see where the story takes them.
Reinforcement is a must-have if you want a tearjerker or if you are aiming for literary accolades of any sort. Without heavy doses of reinforcement, any story - regardless of how interesting it appears to be - will fall flat.
The expression of Reinforcement is one of two things: #1 it’s a literal repetition of an event or circumstance or #2 it is the repeated expression of a condition you want your audience to believe characterized through unrelated events. Both options achieve the same result which is establishing a baseline of belief for a particular storyline condition. |
