3) The setting tells me that the story is going to be about the marriages of women and also the title suggests the fact that how women at that time were not allowed to have "pride"and also "prejudice" that she is being married off to.
Q4. Now look at Chapter 1 of ' To kill a mockingbird'. Identify the setting of the novel in this chapter. Do you get clues about the story that follows from the setting?
The story was set in Maycomb, Alabama, USA, in the early 20th Century. Maycomb was an old fashioned town in Alabama, a southern state in the USA. The setting gives us a rough idea that the book was probably about prejudice that was taking place in the town. One of the examples was that Boo Radley that was being described as the town freak.
All in all the setting tells us that the story would be about prejudice and also the fact that how the children learn about it.
You are one of the few I feel have done the part on setting correctly, so good work there. I appreciate you adding the pictures of each storybook as the cover page itself would let the viewers know a little bit on how the story would turn out to be. Thanks!
