The reason why the shadow looked so fat might be related to the distance between the light source and the cover. When the sun is far away and large, the shadow will become thin and long. However, the length of the shadow was also related to the position of the sun in the sky. To be more specific, one could determine whether a person was fat or not from the width of the shadow.
Quick Read was an online reading platform. The clarity and fluency of the novels were limited. In order to provide a better user experience, QuickRead would limit the resolution and frame rate of the novel to reduce the amount of data transmitted over the network while ensuring the smooth reading of the novel.
However, everyone's internet access was different, and the experience of reading a novel would be different. If you find that the novel looks like it's real, it might be due to your poor network condition or the low performance of your device, causing the novel to be stuck.
You can try to adjust the network speed and device performance or choose other online reading platforms to get a better reading experience.
I think Salinger ended the novel that way to challenge conventional storytelling and force readers to think beyond the obvious. It might also be related to his personal style and the themes he wanted to convey throughout the book.
It could be that Chekhov wanted to create a certain impact or leave the readers with a lasting impression. Maybe it was his way of adding an element of surprise or mystery.
Well, one reason could be genetics. In the Naruto universe, Kushina was Naruto's mother. So in fanfiction, the author might want to emphasize this genetic connection by making Naruto look like her. It could also be for a plot device. Maybe there's a story where Naruto's resemblance to Kushina plays an important role in uncovering some long - lost family secrets or in a prophecy.
Often in fanfiction, the resemblance between Naruto and Minato can be for emotional impact. When other characters see Naruto looking like Minato, it can stir up memories and emotions related to Minato. This can create interesting character interactions, like when the older generation sees Naruto and is reminded of Minato. It also adds an extra layer to Naruto's character as he might start to understand more about his father through this physical resemblance, like how people might react to him differently because of it.
In fanfictions, Astoria may look up to Harry because of his heroism. He defeated Voldemort, which saved the wizarding world. This is a huge accomplishment that would naturally make someone like Astoria, who lives in that world, admire him. His actions were selfless and he risked his life many times.
