How do authors get their readers to feel emotions about people and situations that are not real?

they use show not tell meaning they use dialouge and things to make people  cry sometimes like if someone was dying. you can't just say, they died. you have to say something like, he slowly shut his eyes closed, his body as still as a boulder. something like that. im on watt.pad so if you want you can check out my books and my username is RedHot_11. so again check it out if you want ideas or just to read and maybe message me for any ideas for new books. That would help.

apprenticeships are formal, paid, long-term training programs that provide valuable classroom instruction coupled with on-the-job training for skilled, high-paying jobs.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
