This time, as the distance was short, i did not mount, but ran with Dogger's stirrup-leather to the lodge gates and up the long, leafless, moonlit avenue to where the white line of the hall buildingslooked on either hand on great old gardens. Here mr. dance dismounted, and taking me along with him, was admitted at a word into the house. p.g. 34
Ichose this passage because I think that it is a very good example of setting. This is one of many interesting settings in this book. Do you agree? Anyone get this vision in their head while reading the passage?

I agree that it is an interesting part of setting, and since the writing is so discriptive that I can actually picture the story in my head. I enjoy when authors write like this because it makes the story more engaging and more interesting.

ReplyDeleteI do agree that this is a good example of setting. I got a perfect vision of the surrounding area and in my mind, it looks amazing. Stevenson was not only famous for his plots, but for his descriptions as well and I feel that this is a good example.
