Thanksgiving Essay Contrasting Places/Setting

(1991) Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, two cities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces or ideas that are central to the meaning of the work. Choose a novel or play that contrasts two such places. Write an essay explaining how the places differ, what each place represents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work.

Remember:
R: Relevance
O: Original Thought
L: Literary Value (including analysis of elements)
E: Explanations and Examples
