Question

Read the two fictional conflicts below. Using complete sentences, explain how the differences in setting might affect the protagonist.

Story A: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a crowded high school lunchroom.
Story B: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days

Answer 1

In story A, it might be less of a big deal to steal an apple in a high school lunchroom. However, in Story B, it's a 4 person boat, that has been drifting at sea for 3 days. If he/she was with other people on the boat, with no food other than the apple, the consequences would be much higher than in Story A. Does this help?

Answer 2

yes, thank you.

Answer 3

Ok, you're welcome!
