What is the significance of the imagery of winter? crystaljlewis https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1186841584 The town is represented as 'bleak' and 'depressive'. The imagery used to represent Starkfield creates this desolate and empty town with little hope. The imagery represents the people, as a collective, as doomed and unable to achieve success in life, and escape their inevitable fate. This conforms to the conventions of realism- believable, realistic settings.]]> 2021-02-10 11:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1186841584 How does environment influence the development of the characters? crystaljlewis https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1186848019 The characters have little room for development in this setting.

The ending? crystaljlewis https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1186873867 The sledding accident is significant to the ending because it forshadows the character's fate. (if they try to escape this town they will fail). You can not escape the vicious cycle. ]]> 2021-02-10 11:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1186873867 crystaljlewis https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1187207753 Naturalist text - inescapable, inherited trauma. generational trauma. more bleak and depressing. naturalism is an evolution of realism that emerged in the late 1900s]]> 2021-02-10 13:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1187207753 crystaljlewis https://padlet.com/crystaljlewis/aqxflylx1k9q6uam/wish/1187252266 'Literary realism is a literary movement that represents reality by portraying mundane, everyday experiences as they are in real life.

Conventions of Realism:
-A believable character (Ethan is flawed)
-The setting in the novel is recognisable-the wintery setting
-Fixed class divisions
