1a. How does the setting relate to the events of the story?
The forest on a stormy night had a dispute of land that lasted a long time. None of this would have happened if it wasn’t about the land. The tree wouldn’t have fallen on Ulrich and Georg and trap them leaving an open ending about wolves.
1b. Write three quotes from the story that best describe the setting.
“In a forest of mixed growth in quest of a human enemy.”
“The roebuck whence it came.”
“The forest lands territorial possession.”
2. The Interlopers was basically the feud because the feud had caused trouble with the 2 families which could not bring any reconciliation. The feud made them want to kill each other all because of this land. Of course, the tree was the main reason that brought them together and made up their differences and forgot about the land. If it wasn’t for

3rd Limited; This was 3rd limited because of how they know as much as we would know when we read the story which was what happened in The Interlopers. The same goes for the author because of how he had no more information about the story than we would get too.
5. The changes that occurred was that the 2 (Georg and Ulrich) started to become sort of like friends. They realized the feud was pointless and that they should stop this. All because of the beech tree.
6. In my perspective, I believe it's due to the fact it was a “Civilized world” where people would not just go up and shoot them just like that.
7. The strength of their friendship would last for decades because of how they settled their differences and they had stuff in common such as hunting for example. They also got along pretty well when Ulrich offered a bottle of wine.
8. The story has an obvious open ending due to the fact it ends as soon as Ulrich says “Wolves.” We do not know what happens next. It just ends like that. So I guess they wanted us to use our imaginations to create a way of how it would end. There would be many ways on how this could’ve
The very first sentence of the chapter makes me believe that the setting is obviously in Oklahoma and a little while after the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. It makes me believe that because of the way that the narrator writes and him/her calling it “the red country and part of the gray country,” which is referencing the red, white, and gray sand often associated with the state. Later on in the first page, the narrator begins to describe a drought taking place. Perhaps the drought will last a long time and lead to the narrator and his/her family moving somewhere more viable. On the second page, the narrator describes “wheels” milling the ground, which leads me to believe that he/she lives
In contrast with the tree; the walls family were always beaten down due to poverty, spun in different directions by the wind; as in the millions of miles they move about through the country but they also have strong roots as well. Rose; Jeanette’s mother shows a deep interest and fascination over the tree. She loves to study and make portraits about it. In Rose’s perspective the tree is her view about her family; deep underneath their dysfunctional roots of trial and hardships they face; there is a strong bond of love and compassion that they have together as a
“It had loomed in my memory as a huge lone spike dominating the riverbank, forbidding as an artillery piece, high as the beanstalk” (13). When Gene referred to the tree as an “artillery piece” it is assumed that this tree may have caused destruction. The foreshadowing continues as the story moves on. Gene and Finny seem as though they are best friends, but it is starting to go downhill.
In a novel or book, the setting can have a major effect on the character. It can also play a role in a major conflict of a story. In the book, "A Long Walk to Water" by Linda Sue Park, the setting, being a desert, takes effect in influencing characters, plot, and mood throughout the story. Firstly, the setting of this novel causes Nya to experience many feelings and emotion such as pain, sorrow, and grief.
This analysis looks at refugees and the social justice issue of Australia’s discriminatory treatment of refugees traveling to Australia seeking asylum. Australia’s current treatment of Asylum seekers includes taking them from an already extremely stressful environment and detaining them in remote detention facilities where they have limited interaction with family and friends. In some instances, this includes children and young people. The University western Sydney (2016)
Also, the narrator provides the setting for the story and sets the mood for a quiet and somewhat dull town. This also goes along with the mood for Tom's trail which is very dreary and depressing. In the Scottsboro trial the setting is very uneasy because a lot is happening in Victoria and Ruby's life at that time. Also, it shows that the girls boarded the train in search for work. (page 6)
The world they lived in was different, but some of the decisions and challenges are the same. C. The green leaf that lands on the porch symbolizes Lisa. The tree was necessary for the green hickory leaf to grow and have life, but the wind blows the leaf to a new place; just as Lisa cares about her grandmother and the care that she received from her. But now Lisa has moved to her new place in life at
These reactions and the impact of the environment on the children are revealed through selection of detail. First, Erdrich characterizes the children through details given in the second paragraph. Mary Adare is described as “short and ordinary” and “square and practical”. Karl Adare is described as having a “sweetly curved” mouth and “fine and girlish” skin. This information coincides with the children’s reactions to the tree.
The tree symbolizes hope again in chapter thirty-one. Brooks gives Alpha Company orders to blow up the tree on top of the knoll (Del Vecchio 551). After the tree was blown up, enemy soldiers surrounded Alpha Company and started to attack them. The enemy soldiers appeared out of nowhere and killed soldiers from Alpha Company, which resulted in the lost of hope amongst the boonierats (Del Vecchio 560). Rebirth is shown after Alpha Company leaves the knoll where the tree used to be.
After the purchase of the Louisiana territory from the french, Thomas Jefferson has sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore this new land, in hopes of locating useful resources, mapping territory and setting out a trade route toward the pacific ocean. So then set the long, treacherous trail Lewis and Clark has embarked on, encountering foreign environment and Native Americans.

While Lewis and Clark ventured deeper into the west of this new American land. They encounter a large variety of Native Americans and started to act a behavior of aggression towards them.
Her uses of metaphor, diction, tone, onomatopoeia, and alliteration shows how passionate and personal her and her mother’s connection is with this tree and how it holds them together. There is a difficult decision ahead the mother and daughter both analyze the advantages and disadvantages to cutting down this tree. They have a dispute (line1) and “talk slowly, trying in a difficult time to be wise” (line 10). Using
Near the end of the novel she observes, “In the years she had been tying scraps to the branches, the tree had died and the fruit turned bitter. The other apple trees were hale and healthy, but this one, the tree of her remembrances, were as black and twisted as the bombed-out town behind it.” (Hannah 368) The apple tree represents the outcomes of war. It portrays the author’s perspective that lives wither and lose life due to such violence.
In the beginning of the story, a description of the setting is presented: “The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between
As freedom is a life acceptance by everyone, including yourself, it makes life a lot easier. Is freedom really about being accepted? In his short story, “The Strangers That Came to Town” Ambrose Flack is revealing that true freedom is about being accepted. As in the story, Flack shows on how when the Duvitches had moved to town, they were limited in freedom around the community. I believe that true freedom is about being accepted because as the town did not accept the Duvitches at first, it became hard for the family to live and the town thought that they did not have the same value as them.
