Towards the beginning of my story, my character is forced to leave home. I'm hoping this scene will be rather eventful and emotional and specifically don't want it to be meaningless to the reader (as it happens early on in the story). My question is two-fold: - Is it a good idea to try and make my readers feel attached to the character's home in order to increase the emotion of the moment? - Is spending a little more time describing the character's home and its surroundings a good way to accomplish this?
