<em>Rewriting the passage is an example of exploding the moment. </em>
When a writer explodes a moment it means that it wants to maximize the moment in the story. It could be an action, a description or a detail. The author wants to focus on something and then "explode the moment" by maximizing the importance or the interest. The author wants this moment to be deeper or larger. It wishes the reader to compenetrate or specifically understand the situation in the story. That is why Rewriting the passage is an example of exploding the moment. The author wants to transport us to that moment when the mother was with her children and to have a "vivid" moment.
