Well, one function is to create suspense. Think about it. When a character discovers a secret passage, it immediately makes the reader curious. Another function is to provide a hidden way for characters to move around undetected. This can be crucial for characters in spy or mystery novels who need to avoid being seen while they're investigating or stealing something. And sometimes, secret passages can be a place where important items or clues are hidden.
Secret passages in novels are described in various ways. Some are described as being filled with ancient mechanisms, like levers and gears that open and close the passage. They may be lined with dusty shelves or old chests, as if they were once used to store something valuable. The air inside might be stale, and the passage could be so narrow that one has to squeeze through in some descriptions.
One example is 'The Secret Garden' where there are hidden passages in the old mansion. Another is 'The Castle of Otranto' which has secret passages that add to the gothic atmosphere.
Here are some beautiful passages from the novel for your reference:

I'm not a fan of online literature. I'm just a person who likes to read novels. I can answer questions about language and language learning. As for the philosophical passages in the Tiny Times novel, I can't provide any relevant information because I haven't read the novel. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.
Here are some touching passages from the novel:
Sometimes, we have to learn to face our loneliness. Even if we have the whole world, we can't really have one person. Therefore, we should cherish the people around us and feel every moment of our lives with our hearts."
" In this world, everyone has their own story. Some people's stories are sad, some people's stories are sweet, but everyone has their own value. So no matter what you've experienced in life, you have to believe in your own value and bravely pursue your dreams."
Life is like a journey, everyone has their own destination. Some people will go all the way forward, some people will stay where they are, but the important thing is that we have to use our hearts to feel the beauty and scenery on the journey."
4 " Nothing is eternal in this world. Everyone had their own lifespan and end point. Therefore, we should cherish every opportunity and moment in front of us and live with our hearts to warm the people around us with love."
The most important thing in life is not success but happiness. Happiness was a feeling of inner peace and tranquility. Therefore, no matter what we pursue, we must pursue happiness and satisfaction in our hearts."
" Life is limited, and so is time. Therefore, we should cherish every moment in front of us and live with our hearts to create beautiful memories with love."
" In this world, everyone has their own mission and responsibility. Some people's mission is to save the world, some people's mission is to protect their families, but everyone has their own value and meaning. So no matter what we do, we have to do our best."
8 " Life is like a practice that requires one to experience it with one's heart. Sometimes we will experience setbacks and failures, but the important thing is that we must learn from them and continue to improve and grow."
" Everyone has their own stories and beliefs. No matter what we believe in, we must believe in ourselves and stick to our beliefs. Because only by believing in yourself can you find your true self in this world."
Life is short, life is limited. Therefore, we should cherish every moment in front of us and live with our hearts to create a beautiful future with love."
One benefit is it can improve vocabulary. By reading different novels, we encounter a wide range of words in various contexts, which helps us learn new words and their correct usage. Another advantage is enhancing empathy. Through the characters' experiences in the passages, we can better understand different perspectives and emotions.
One romantic passage is from 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. 'In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.' This passage shows Mr. Darcy's intense and long - held love for Elizabeth.
One impact is that it can limit the readership. Some people may be offended or uncomfortable with such content, especially younger readers or those with more conservative values. Another impact is on the literary reputation. Novels with excessive explicit sex passages might be considered more for shock value rather than true literary merit.
From 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.' This passage is a key moral lesson in the novel, teaching empathy and understanding, which Scout Finch gradually learns throughout the story.
