Select one of the texts (short-story or poem) from this Unit. Then briefly discuss the significance of its setting by considering these questions: When and where is the text set? What details from the text reveal its historical context? How does this context shape your understanding of the conflicts explored in the text? What political and social issues are being raised by the text? If the story was written much later than the time in which it is set, how does this distance impact the work and your response to it? If the text is an allegory, what historical and cultural connections do the allegorical elements suggest?
