When an author depicts environment or setting in prose, he/she is describing the domain or surroundings of where the tale occurs.

Explanation:

An environment or setting in prose can also be defined as the context or the backdrop where a story unfolds. Hence, it plays a very important part in establishing the personalities/back stories of the characters themselves.

The setting or environment could include a number of details. For instance:

  • Direct reference to Place and/or Time: Eg. <em>"In the early winters of 1989, Samantha was living a peaceful life in the heart of Mexico."</em>
  • Indirect reference to Place and/or Time: Eg. <em>"Since the evenings were warm, and the trees were bare, Tom knew that in a couple of months winter would be on its way."</em>
  • The Interiors/Exteriors Description: Eg. <em>"The four walls were made of thick concrete blocks, gleaming in the dark by the torches that lined the passageway. There were shadowy figures lurking in the corners."</em>
  • The Natural Habitat/Surroundings and/or the Weather/Climate: Eg. <em>"It was a cheerful sunny day, ideal for a picnic in the park. The grass was green, flowers were in full bloom, and the clouds passed in the sky like tufts of fluffy white cotton wool."</em>

A setting or environment works to weave in the elements of the narrative together. It also enables the readers to visualize the story being narrated, making it more engaging to picturize it.

Write a letter to your sister to tell her how you like your school​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

To do so, I guess I'd say use proper grammar and format.

Although your sister isn't someone to write formally to, if you write properly it's good to do in the end

Lol i assume this is what you mean?

Which literary device is used in the following sentence? “If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.”
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is paradox.


Paradox is a figure of speech that combines two completely opposite things into one. In the excerpt above, we can see that the speaker is willing to wait for his/her loved one his/her entire life, however, only if they don't take too long to get to him/her. This is a paradox because they weren't willing to wait for them long in the first place, as it turns out.
