The crowded diner was bustling with the lunch rush. The parties assembled in the booths huddled over laminated menus, discussing specials and office gossip. As Manny sipped his coffee, something in the doorway caught his eye. Others noticed, too, and soon the din of conversation ceased. The figure hesitated, backlit by the noon sun, holding the door wide. Some people still did not register his arrival. But soon his towering frame caused every diner's chin to tip up in his appraisal, and a collective gasp resounded.

Which descriptive details does the author include to entertain readers? "crowded diner was bustling"; "backlit by the noon sun"; "a collective gasp resounded". The question refers to the two versions of The War of the Worlds (comparing/contrasting). To make the readers feel like they experiencing it, the descriptive details involves specific information in a certain situation. The fact that readers noticed them is vital to the story. It creates better sensory experiences among the readers. The author includes details that are unnecessary to the story. But, these details have the function to make his writing more entertaining for readers.
