Here is this week's out-of-class novel assignment:
Everything happens somewhere. The term "setting" is used to describe the time and place where the action of a novel occurs.
For this assignment, your task is to analyze the language your selected author uses to evoke the book's setting. In one very well-developed paragraph, discussing the specific choices the author makes. You might begin by examining specific lines and thinking about the types of examples they include. Names? Sensory details? Words with specific connotations?
Feel free to include an evaluative component in your paragraph. How well, in your opinion, does the author evoke the setting? Is there anything you would have done differently?
Please email me with any questions.
