How does the setting signal what is happening? How does it
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
change?
|
|
|
|
Look for cause-and-effect connections between descriptions of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the
setting and what the characters are feeling or thinking.
|
|
|
|
How does the historical period or cultural context the story was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
written
in matter?
|
|
|
|
Assume that the setting is a projection of the thoughts and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
feelings
of the narrator. Then consider what the setting tells you
|
|
about
the narrator.
|
|
|
|
Assume that the setting symbolized something outside of their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
control
(nature), then consider what the setting tells you about
|
|
|
the
pressures and rules under which the characters function.
