Question

How much do you think place affects people? Consider how a certain place has played a part in your life or in the life of someone you know. You could also think about a movie or a book in which the location is key to the story. Write a paragraph explaining how you think place affects a person or character.

Answer 1

Location can affect a lot of things. Living in one area can give you a different understanding of how life is. Culture can be completely different to someone who lives in the US vs someone who lives in France. The different behaviors of each country can tell of how the person was raised. Accents also tell of the affect a location has on a person. In the book "The Hunger Games" By Suzanne Collins, Katniss lived in district twelve where poverty is the highest in Panem. Their way of life of having to hunt for food and try to survive is vastly different from those in the capital and in districts 1-4. In the capital and 1-4 they don't have to work so hard to survive and see the Hunger Games as fun or entertainment. In district 11 and 12 they see it has a hassle where it takes away people that can help pay for food or help with things around the house. Location can show how a person behaves and have background in their beliefs as well.
