Some strategies I would use would be using lots of detail, colorful words, imagery, figurative language, metaphors,similies. Make you reader see what's happening instead of just reading it. Make them feel something.
A make information Easy to find in novels
A complex sentence is a sentence that combines one independent clause with at least one dependent clause.
Example:
Although Denise had some doubts, she found the courses very useful
First part of the sentence cannot stand alone so it is dependent.
Second part is independent because it is a complete sentence by itself.
