Advanced Composition' and Occasion-Sensitivity Further, people read for two reasons: entertainment or information. [ A writer who confuses, bores, or threatens the reader, "has lost that reader, usually for good." Earlier, Donald Murray's indispensable A Writer Teaches Writing (1968) focuses firmly on the target-audience. So writers, and now textbooks, embrace this pragmatism. Do the nation's writing classrooms, secondary and even collegiate, follow suit? Quite possibly not, which may suggest that advanced composition may often have a mandate to emphasize sensitivity to occasion as the keystone skill in real-world writing which it in fact is. My own foray into freelance writing in particular?77 articles in five years, but not without initial stumbles?taught me that real-world writing in general is varied, difficult, possible, necessary, satisfying. I now feel obligated to impart some of this perspective to my advanced writing students especially. ]

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.
Answer: B) her own perspective.
Explanation: In the given excerpt from "My Story" we can see that the narrator is accounting the events in first-person perspective.
