In the book House of Dark Shadows, setting is everything. Without the setting, there wouldn't even be a story. For example, the beginning of the story starts with Xander getting used to a new setting in Pinedale, which is the town he moved to away from L.A. Next is the setting of the house they moved to. It is a big, scary house that is surrounded by forest and all of the kids in the King family think it is very suspicious. The imagery in the text helps to promote suspenseful moment by describing the house and how creepy it really is. "Xander looked out the window of the pitch black room and saw nothing... nothing but trees." I don't know about you but that line write their puts a good picture in my head and i would not want to be in Xander's situation right now.
Do you think setting is the main factor in most novels?
I think setting is the main factor because it impacts the story the most. Without a meaningful setting the story wont make sense
ReplyDeleteI love storys that have an important setting. As a reader being able to picture what your reading really allows you to enjoy the writing.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! yes i think setting is the main factor in most novel. If the setting is bad then the story will be bad as you will not know when and where the story takes place.
