I mean...this depends very heavily on what the purpose of the writing is.

If it's to succinctly communicate key facts, then you write it quickly.

- Discovered that Bilbo's old ring is, in fact, the One Ring of Power.

- Took it on a journey southward to Mordor.

- Experienced a bunch of hardship along the way, and nearly failed at the end, but with Sméagol's contribution, successfully destroyed the Ring and defeated Sauron forever.

....And if it's to tell a story, then you write The Lord of the Rings.

Sure, but different people judge differently what should be told as a story.

"When's dinner?" "Well, I was at the store earlier, and... (paragraphs elided) ... and so, 7pm."

Now, that's very true! But it's a far cry from implying that all or most humanities teachers are all about writing florid essays when 3 bullet points will do.
