[QUOTE="MatthewM, post: 2056223, member: 216063"] is it 1. The Setting as Mirror: The setting may mirror the main mood or emotions within the story. For example, if it is a story of spiritual desolation, the story may be set in a bare, arid landscape. 2. The Setting as Mold: With this setting, the setting often shapes who the character becomes and how he behaves. For example, in the story Deportation at Breakfast by Larry Fondation, is set in a 1950s diner. When the head chef is deported, the protagonist literally jumps over the kitchen counter to become the new head chef. This is an example of the setting determining who he becomes and how he behaves. 3. The Setting as Escape: The Setting as Escape takes us to imaginary or strange discovery, such as an enchanted forest, a castle in the ancient world, etcetera. 4. The Alien Setting: The Alien Setting is really about the loss of roots and the loss of home. The setting may be an alien planet, or a nightmare that the character can't get out of. [/QUOTE]
