Thematic Meaning In The Story 'Christmas 1910'

Setting is where a story take place. It's important because it makes conflicts possible, and moves the plot forward. Setting influences conflict, and conflict impacts the character causing plot progression. For example in Tangerine, because Tangerine has lightning strikes, muck fires, and sinkholes this has caused a lot of conflict that changed characters, and developed the plot, which impacts the novel. Setting in a piece of literature impact the overall experience a reader has with literature, and if the story took place elsewhere then the whole story would be different since characters would respond differently. For example, to me the setting in Tangerine impacted my experience since knowing the place I could predict would could possibly

In this book setting is one of the many main points because it helps define the situation or scene and shows the type of mood that is in that section and what the characters are feeling or thinking.

Without setting the story doesn’t have anywhere to take place. Setting adds tone and variety to stories. Most every story has a different setting, which makes not one story the same from another. “It was her first time in England… It was drearily gray. Rain drummed down onto spires of a distant church, while black smoke rose from the chimneys of ships and stained the already dull-colored sky. A crowd of people in dark clothes, holding umbrellas, stood on the docks.”(7) This quote from The Clockwork Angel is a perfect example of setting. It tells the audience how the scene is set and assists them in acquiring a better picture. Setting is also very essential stories because it gives the readers a picture of when and where the event is taking place. If there is no setting in a story, the readers won’t have an idea of what the surroundings looks like and what time period the story is in, making it very difficult to understand most of the

Dreaming of A White Christmas was written by Bing Crosby during the year of 1942. This typical song has a different hook that got my attention. The title was the hook for me because it said “ Dreaming of A White Christmas” it's a very different title to other songs. Bing Crosby wrote this song because he had a purpose to tell parents and us they key memories. Key memories of the holiday season that most people love and cherish.

“The Christmas Story,” by Langston Hughes shows the day Jesus was born into the world. Based on the poem by Hughes, he believed in Jesus. The poem also explains everything about where Jesus was born and his circumstances that night.

influential in the understanding of the story; however, in many novels it 's strange to have a narration outside of the living.

“ Spirit, hear me. I am not he man I was. I will not be the man I have been for so many years. Why show me all of this if I am past all hope? Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me. Let the boy live! I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” (Scrooge, p.140). A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is an important story as it has a meaningful theme of change, as the quotes states above. But that isn’t the only theme that this beautiful story shows us. Many different spirits encounter him to help him realize why Christmas is important (I’m pretty sure that is the meaning of the spirits). When the first spirit of the past encounters him, he realizes what he has done, and regrets some of the things he did. The second spirit helped Ebenezer Scrooge recognize how what he has been doing has had an impact in other peoples life. When the frightening third spirit came and showed him his future and others futures, he discovers about himself and how people didn’t care that he died. When we read A Christmas Carol, we learn that it can have many different themes that can be a very important component to the story and even our lives.

Things can happen in some places and the tale of them will be interesting. The same story laid in another city would be ridiculous. Setting situates the story`s events, characters and mood through place, time and weather. Without the different dimensions of setting, a story would not have the diversity to introduce new or changed characters, define their true identities, compare societies and reveal hidden emotions. Through Morrison`s Sula, setting is used as the key factor behind every event that occurred.

Setting has a major impact on a story; it sets the theme and mood or feeling.

Authors use setting to help readers picture a realistic background, transport them to strange and exotic places the story accommodates, or even to create a certain mood for the reader to feel when reading a part of the story using elements such as the location, the time, etc. It helps influence the way characters behave, affect the dialogs, predict events, conjure specific emotional responses, reflect the character's society, and even play a part in the story itself.

a prison or a treadmill; he did not think for a second that the places

The setting creates the enviornment for the entire story, the time and the place. Every single part of the story revolves around this. What the characters look like, how they talk to eachother, where they live, what is going on around them. The main conflict is even determined by the time period and where in the world it takes place. For example, the story "The Cask of Amontillado" is set in Paris, France around the rennaissance era. but theres more to the setting than just that. "It was about dusk one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that i encountered with my friend." This describes more about the enviornment around the characters in the beggining of the story. Then the setting shifts,"Its walls had been lined with

In the first half of the 19th century, Christmas was a very different kind of holiday than it is today. People did not have a set way of celebrating. Christmas was not even an official holiday yet.

I think Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.

Twas the night before Christmas, pale and yellow moonlight illuminated a house deep in the woods. Tall pine trees surrounded the house, like giants pointing at the inky black sky. Flurries of snowflakes swirled in a hurry around the house. The house stood alone and abandoned, adorned with Christmas lights, but not the ones you would see on any ordinary house. Some lights were fading, once bright and colorful but now a former shell of what they once been. Others burned out in a spark while the ones left were shattered. The front door was decorated with a rug that could be mistaken as an animal. The tree inside the house was not in the most pristine condition, either. The tree slumped in a dark corner. The top of the tree stretched out like bony fingers grasping at the air. The shiny, glinting ornaments that once fashioned the tree were now shattered. The wallpaper plastered to the wall was now peeling off, like it was rotting. The paint on anything on the house was now faded and chipping away. Stale air filled with dust occupied the house. The house was indeed creepy and not in the most pristine condition. Even more mysterious, the house would only ever appear on the night of Christmas Eve. Despite this, many local teenagers and explorers were drawn to the house. Anyone who was brave enough or dumb enough would enter and see the house in its deteriorated state. One Christmas Eve night many years ago, an explorer had stumbled across the house. He had been in the snow for what
