The Real Durwan --- It has been set in India, where the people were poor at that specific time.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band --- It has been set in the rich area of London, which is Central London,
Pride and Prejudice --- It has been set in the poor area of England, London, a town where the not so well-off people live as they cannot afford to live in the city area of London, where the standard of living is too expensive.
What time period has each of these stories been set in?
The Real Durwan --- It was set when India separated into three different parts, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Central India which led to many riots because of the assets lost in the midst of the moving; Hindus were moved to a particular part and Muslims were also moved to another particular part.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band --- It was set in 1983, as mentioned in the story.
Pride and Prejudice --- It was set in the 18th century, when girls had no rights to express their views and to choose their marriage partner. Their marriage partner was solely chosen by their parents, regardless of his age, looks and anything else, she had to marry him if her parents said so. She could not oppose or decline the marriage request as at that time, she had no rights to do
so.
so.
What clues do you get from the setting about the kind of story it is going to turn out to be?
The Real Durwan --- The setting tells me about how poor the old lady is and what kind of predicament she is in right now. I think it tells me that it is going to turn out to be a sad story, where her predicament is explained through a flashback.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band --- The setting tells us that the case Sherlock Holmes is going to handle will be a unique one, as mentioned by his friend that it is unusual seeing someone coming to their house early in the morning.
Pride and Prejudice --- The setting tells me about how anxious a family is to marry off the daughters in it to a rich man. It tells me that it is heading to a conclusion where one lady gets the lucky chance to do so.
When you are asked about where a story is set you are supposed to describe the country, city, town or village where a story is set. There is always a reason why an author picks a country/ city/ town for the background of the story. When refers to a time period in history and how the historical events at that particular time might effect the story.

Aside from that, your blog is extremely well done and I am enjoying the music :D
I agree with Sean. I cannot really find some of the question's answer in your post. Based on what I feel, this post is a bit wordy and messy. Maybe including more pictions and in a more organised format will be better? It is a great post after all. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteJack nice post, i agree with Sean and Zihhn. Your information is correct and the only problem is organisation. Your post shows in-dept thinking and good thought process as you were able to point out a few key points. For example, you were able to deduce the setting of the the last durwan by identifying that since the min character is wearing a sari, she must be from India.
