Unit 4 Critical Thinking Questions
1. Worldbuilding is a useful approach to creating settings in all sorts of fiction, but because it encompasses many
aspects of the real world in order to invent something entirely unique, it is especially useful when crafting a wildly
creative setting. Write a short paragraph or bulleted list explaining how you would blend these two worlds: a city
that is on the floor of the ocean.
- Understand the geology of the ocean floor on which the city is located and the difficulties of building a city in a
climate.
- Feature how the city on the floor of the sea is special and what makes it not the same as different urban
communities.
- Details about the city's transportation options, including how individuals travel and how products are transported.
- Describe the city's design and the way things are adjusted to the submerged climate.
2. Setting has a tremendous impact on certain genres, and there is no place where it is more essential than in
Gothic fiction. The unit details the reasons and ways that setting is so enormously important for the Gothic fiction
genre, but it does not clearly explain how setting has a serious impact on other genres. Choose one of the following
genres and explore how setting is important to that genre: thriller or suspense, fairytale, horror, or western.
- The settings are used to make barriers for the characters to conquer/defeat to accomplish their objectives.
- The settings are also used to create plot twists in a story. For example: put a character at risk, or near death.
3. Throughout your entire story writing process, you will likely ask yourself many questions along the way. While
crafting the setting of your story, come up with three questions that you feel would be the most important
questions to consider in order to craft an effective and purposeful plot. Briefly explain why each question is
important.
- The settings, you should choose with caution. It may affect the storyline, or the characters in a serious way.
- The conflict/action is what pushes the story, as well has to be straightened out by the end.
- The characters need to achieve their goals, as well as motives that line up with the storyline.
4. The unit expressed the importance of remembering the mantra: Show, don’t tell. Compose a sentence or two
which implies the following settings without explicitly stating what the setting is.
●
Cold, winter night
●
Noisy restaurant
-
The ice cold wind was bitter, as the ground was frozen solid.
-
The sound of dishes clashing, and the sound of glasses clinking.
5. The unit explores the idea and importance of juxtaposition within setting, giving the example of a father
and son having a serious talk at a fair rather than in the predictable quiet living room. Consider a book or
story that you have read that clearly shows some type of juxtaposition within the plot, setting, or
characters. Briefly explain how this juxtaposition serves to show contrast and highlight certain themes or
ideas.
-
The school Hogwarts, where Harry Potter attends his classes, is compared to the rest of the
world as it is a position of open enchantment/strange fiction versus the rest of the world which
does not have any wizardry and is normal. This is an example of juxtaposition.
