Question #1

1) How has the setting (time and place) been used in this chunk to develop an emotional effect on the reader?

The setting of the story is 1922, New York, in the summer. These settings create emotional effects such as the personalities of the characters and the way they speak. Especially since it takes place in 1922, people had a more linguistic dialogue and vocabulary. This also shows that the characters use more creative words which give clues on the emotional setting. Some of the characters were not originally from New York. They live there for different reasons and this also causes some various emotions about where they live and how they react.
