Post#4
Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.

The setting I liked best was the mountain. It was surrounded with pink rock and green trees. It was the place where the first fire was built. All the boys helped in making the fire by volunteering. The surrounding is refreshing and feels free. The nature in the middle of the island is so beautiful. On the top of the mountain you can see every part of the island and also the sea surrounding it.
The place that was most disturbing was the forest at night. It was creepy and stuffy. It is also scary and mysterious. You don't know when the beast will jump out or even if the beast exists. It is the place of question the most arguments were made because of this unknown part of the island.

Mountain surrounded with pink rocks and green trees? WoW.. That must be really strange but gorgeous! Also, I can imagine what the island looks like.(Like paradise?) anyway, I want to visit that island and the mountain. If the island looks exactly same what you explained, I think everyone wants to go there:-)

The setting does sound free. It shows how far the island is from other human influence and that the boys are really, totally on their own.
The dark forest at night disturbs the boys as well. Dark places like that tend to give birth to unrealistic and unreasonable immagination. It is a place the author used to create more tension and question. The descriptions make the places seem real and paints a picture in my mind. ^-^

Hi Yuhee unnie:)
The setting that I liked the most was the mountain too. At the mountain it was the setting when the boys were so naive. That is why I liked that setting. I can imagine how the mountain would look like. I'm guessing that the island was very clean and bright in the beginning. But as the boys changed the island changed too, into very dark and scary place.
The way you described the setting are very descriptive and nice.
Good work! Yuhee♥

yo, this is Eric Lee, also Apple Lee.

I really like your idea saying about environment~(?)
you're telling the mysterious mood about this setting and I agree with you. The environment and setting are indicating the story and what's gonna happen very well.
your writing is well shown to the reader to understand better.

good good
