While you are reading your novel, please discuss on your blog the following information as it pertains to yesterday's lesson on "What, When, Where, Etc." Please answer for FULL POINTS by Friday March 20th.
1. What is the time period of your novel? How do you know this? What clues do the pictures present giving you specific periods of time (day/night), seasons (fall/winter), the passing of time and aging, and eras (60's? 80's?)
2. How does your main character (the protagonist) represent ideals (or fail to represent ideals) that a person in that particular time (or era) may have been expected (forced?) to represent?
3. How does the time period (in all of its many elements) work within your story? How does it drive the plot? Think about- how would things be different or altered if set in a different time (let's say 10 years in the past or 10 years in the future)? If they would be altered how would it change the work? Why did the author choose this time period?
4. Is the setting of your story real, fictional, or real fiction as discussed during class? Why did the author choose this particular setting? How would changing it alter the story line?
