“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Settings

Focus on the setting of a novel you've read (any novel, in any language, just not the one you'll be presenting to the class).  What sort of "world" is it?  How large or small, open or restrictive?  What are its rules, values, beliefs, and customs?  Do the characters fit comfortably in their world or are they in opposition to it?  Is this shown to be a good or bad thing?
