Question

3. How does the setting in paragraphs 26-27 help develop the plot? The last dog

Answer 1

The setting in paragraphs 26 and 27 helps to the development of the plot because it provides the story with an interesting twist and it arises a conflict.

The last dog is a short story by Katherine Paterson, in this story, humans live in a sealed dome and are not allowed to go outside as it is considered to be dangerous.  In this context, one curious man decides to leave the dome and explore the outside world.

In paragraphs 26 and 27 of this story, the narrator describes how the main character Brocks finds some hills with trees and later a brook. This finding is extremely interesting because the character had been through trees and freshwater did not exist anymore, and therefore he is quite surprised to find these elements.

This discovery helps develop the plot of the story because it is an unexpected twist and it arises a conflict because the character starts questioning previous ideas such as:

• Considering the outside as dangerous.
• Believing life is not possible outside the dome.
