Why does the lawyer move from novels of “light character” to the classics is this a step up or a step down?

To move from novels of "light character" t the classics is a step up. The first ones often are used as a form of escapism and killing time, as the lawyer does in his first year of confinement. Much of the literature published has the same plot with different characters and settings. When he changes to the classics he is becoming more serious and deep in his thinking, and uses reading to fulfill his need of companion, and the classics are much better company than stereotyped literature.

explanation:

hopefully this will you you're welcome

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
