Hi! I just read an article and I found two paragraphs used as examples:

The neighbor across the street practiced the hot coal jig in his bath towel every day. The first time I saw him, I watched him flail and twitch for five minutes, debating whether or not to inform him of his embarrassment by asking him to shut his curtains. It was very different than living next door to an elderly widow like Mrs. Smith who only planted rose bushes outside her bedroom window.

I saw my neighbor through the window. He was dancing in his bath towel. It was something he did every morning since I moved in. I had never seen anything like it! For a minute, I debated whether I should go next door or not and ask him to close his curtains.

The first is a lot more interesting, but what exactly is it that makes it more fun to read? I can't seem to find the exact words to describe it.
