From the prelude of this book Ruby is introduced in a village high in the mountains where she lied with her mother. The ambience of this location is frigid outside and warm in their small lodge. Another major setting is the prison cell she resides to for five months after being captured. The cell was furnished with stone flooring and walls which she states as “arms wrapped around my chest to hold in body heat, which the stone floor seemed so greedy to leech away.” It was also equipped with a “tiny barren window” that let in a gloomy light. The next major setting is the monks infirmary. This room was equipped with arched windows and four

William Faulkner’s use of a setting in a short story, such as “Barn Burning”, effected the entire outcome of the story from start to finish. In “Barn Burning”, a young boy must face his father and face the reality of a harsh world.

Freedom can be expressed in many ways, whether it be from the individual or from the community. One can express freedom from escaping their own barriers from their life. This can make someone’s life more easy to live because they can freely express their ideas and thoughts without being ridiculed. Other people may express freedom from being accepted in society. In Ambrose Flack’s short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, he shows that true freedom is about being accepted. Flack uses characterization of Mr. Duvitch as a catalyst to show that true freedom is about being accepted. Mr. Duvitch wasn’t accepted for the beginning of the story which creates a poor image of himself in his community. Flack also shows that once he is accepted by society, it shows the power of acceptance and how it is transferred to happiness. Once Mr. Duvitch was accepted and free, the whole community finally understood who he really is. Mr. Duvitch’s true personality shined through because he was comfortable within his community.

As this happened the demand for economic homes increased, and families began having children due to the economical stability and prosperity in which the United States of America was amidst. The nationwide home demand gave birth to one of the most comfortable and affordable ways of living: The suburban home. These neighborhoods were planned for young middle-upper class families who wanted to have, or already had children. These families were living the

The setting of the story helps to magnify its impact on the reader because it is set in a small town similar to the one many of us may know of, and that is symbolic of everything that we consider to be right in America. The story begins on a wonderful summer day in a small town. The author describes the day as very joyful but strikes a contrast between the surroundings of the town and the atmosphere of the people gathered in the square. The atmosphere is sober, where the adults ?stood together, away from the stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather then laughed."(268) This, in just the third paragraph, is a

The Stranger The Stranger exhibits a society that has confined itself with a specific set of social standards that dictate the manner in which people are supposed to act. This ideology determines the level of morality, and how much emphasis should placed on following this certain "ethical" structure.

Furthermore, the setting contributes to the structure of the story, like cartilages in a human body. The café can be viewed as a workplace and also as a place of peaceful socialization. Each person deals with despair differently. Having the setting at a café where it was mentioned that it was quiet help structure the story that it is neither a depressing story nor, a happy story. The two waiters who were gossiping about the old man mentioned that he had committed suicide but, he was saved. Being in a café is different than rather being in a bar or anywhere else. The café signifies a place for space or time, depending on the person. The old man is not trying to cure his despair but rather subdue it. The setting could have taken place anywhere but it also could have affected the structure of the story differently. For example, when the older waiter was out trying to kill time due to insomnia, he went to a bar but, it was not soothing; therefore, he went home. This proves how the setting was able to support its main structure of having a café rather than a different place.

In the Scarlet Letter, the narrator is an unnamed man who writes these events after they take place a couple hundred years ago. His point of view is a third person omniscient. He tells the story of the characters and knows everything about each of them, but doesn't get involved in the story himself. This is consistent throughout the entire novel. This is beneficial in the sense that it reveals every character’s secrets and opinions, allowing for the readers to simultaneously understand all aspects of the story.
