What kinds of details might an author include to depict environment or setting in a prose excerpt

English

vfiekz [6]2 years ago

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.

In chapter 15, there are three distinct groups: the lynch mob, Atticus, and the kids. Which group or person had the most power?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

This is based on opinion, but I believe this one belongs to the kids.

Explanation:

Scout recognizes Mr. Cunningham: she asks about his entailment and about Walter, which makes him look uncomfortable. Remembering Atticus’s advice to talk to people about what they’re interested in, Scout mentions the entailment again and realizes that everyone, including Atticus, is staring at her openmouthed. She asks what’s wrong. Mr. Cunningham squats, tells Scout he’ll say hi to Walter, and leads the men away. Mr. Cunningham smiles at her, and leads the men away. Scout's innocence contributes to this save, and uses this leverage to save Tom Robinson.

One could say it was Atticus, but the mob was already towards making a move against him, but it was Scout who saved him from this danger.

Again, this is my opinion, and is entirely up to debate.

Rewrite the following passage, correcting any problems in subject/verb/antecedent agreement.
irina [24]

I think it is:

Sarah opened her drawer took out the new stationary set. Now that she has finished her chores, she can spend some time writing a letter to her friend Cade. Cade had just moved to a new city a few months ago, but Sarah felt as if he had been gone for a year. Fortunately, they both love writing letters. They even put their own creative touch, a sketch, at the bottom of each letter. They were determined that their friendship would last even if they were far away from each other.

Something like that. I hope this helps.
