Response #9: Setting Changes
Choose one of the following and explain what changes it would
make in your story if:
a) the setting
were changed to 100 years in the future or the past.
b) the setting
were changed to another place ( country, planet, etc)
In your response consider whether the change of setting would
change the plot, the type of conflict, the way characters behave, dress, or
interact with each other or adults.
For example, if your book is about bullying in the present
time they may refer to texts or facebook. Thirty years ago it would have been
phone calls and notes. One hundred years ago it would have been face to face or
notes on a slate. The time changes how the conflict is expressed.
