Journal Entry 20: The Influence of Setting
How can settings influence a story? Since settings are the place and time period of an event, it can change the story in a lot of ways. For example, you won't expect a a prehistoric war to have guns and canons (not in reality). You will expect the people fighting with spears or stones. But settings in fantasies are different. For example, Star Wars happened a long time ago in the galaxy far far away. Although it's a long time ago, people had space ships that can travel in light speed. These settings won't influence the story too much.

Hank, on top of your not doing your journals on time, you are not writing enough per journal entry. This is less than half the required length.
ReplyDeleteYou get zero points for late journal entries, and only partial credit for on-time journals that are less than 200 words. This makes up a significant portion of your grade, so you need to keep up on it.
