The setting creates mood for the entire story because if their was no mood for the story then it wouldnt make any sense. In this story the setting is on a ship called the seahawk. It creates meaning for me as a reader because if the story has no meaning then it wouldnt be good, it would just be some random stoy that any one or kid would write. I remember when I was 2nd grade and I had to write a short book and I thought it was really good, but now that Im older, I look back at it and it made no sense at all.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is very important to the story. Without the setting the story would have no where to take place. The setting creates a certain mood for the story by having a character describe what it looks like and feels like. If the character says that the setting was dark, damp and cold you might think that the setting is scary. So when Charlotte said that her cabin was, “about six feet in length, four feet wide and four and a half feet tall” you may think that it is small and dark. The setting creates meaning by giving the reader pictures in their mind. If the setting wasn’t described then the reader would have no idea where the story took place or when. I read a story once and it didn’t describe the setting very well so I had no idea when or where the story was taking place, and I couldn’t paint a picture of it in my mind. So the setting is very important to the story.
ReplyDeleteIn the story Charlotte Doyle Charlotte explains the setting very good . She does this by using your 5 senses. That makes the writing in her journal very good. The setting is very important the story because if Charlotte didn’t explain the setting then the story would be confusing because you wouldn’t really be able to understand what is happening in the story because you wouldn’t know where she is or what is in the place where Charlotte is. So that is why the setting is important to the story. The setting help me feel or see what Charlotte is seeing. So it also makes me able to see her pain. Like I’d say if I saw the small room she would be seeing she would be sad. But if a big room she would probably be happy.
ReplyDeleteThe setting creates mood for the entire story by letting the reader see, hear, smell, and taste what is going on during the story. A good setting lets the reader picture themselves witnessing the story. The setting is very important (sea, ship, port, etc.) to the story “The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.” Because if what happened on the sea and/or ship didn’t happen then Charlotte wouldn’t have felt half the feelings that she did. Having a lady on a ship wasn’t proper so Charlotte felt uncomfterable and felt very sea sick. The setting creates meaning for me as the reader by making want to read the story and become interested in the topic. If Charlotte went on a journey on horses, and not by see, I probably wouldn’t want to read the book (even though I would have to because Mrs. Travis would make me).
ReplyDeleteThe setting of “The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle” creates a mood for the entire story because the mood would effect how the characters act or feels. The setting is on a boat, witch is on the sea. In this case that might make the characters feel sad or sick. It would make them feel sick maybe if they got sea sick or just wasn’t feeling well. They could be sad if the scenery is gloomy or just is sad. The setting of the story is important because when a story is just talking about like your friend or something, you would like to know like where they are talking about or where are they while this is going on. The setting gives the flow. The setting creates meaning because if you are on a boat, you would think that the setting would be in an ocean of some type, but instead the author says that they were on a bout in the middle of the grass just playing. That really wouldn’t mean any scene. In this case the setting was on a boat in the sea. I can infer that the setting of this story was they most important.
ReplyDeleteThe setting Charlotte tells about the ship is very nasty. She says the ship is small with lots of dirty men a dark dirty room with rats mice and cockroaches. The setting makes Charlotte feel sad, lonely, and depressed. This setting is important to the story because with out the setting Charlotte would not be so sad on the ship. the story creates a meaning to me because some times I feel sad and dearest in bad times.
ReplyDeleteYes it does because the mood is kind of sad because Charlotte gets hurt a lot in this story. So the mood is sad. the setting is not important because there is a lot of men on the ship with Charlotte. the setting is not important because its on a ship and ships are not important. That is why the setting is not important
ReplyDeleteThe setting creates a mood for the entire story by tlling you or giving you an ide about the story.It really would'nt be a story with out a setting.I woul not under stand a story oe bit with out the setting.I did a skit before and i coud hardley understand it because it did'nt have a setting.
ReplyDeleteIt creates mood by how everything or everybody on the ship will make the people feel about things on the ship-The things that might relate to them. If you place the story somewhere else like on a boardwalk it won’t have the same dangers or same people. The mood wouldn’t be the same either because the setting is somewhere different. The setting creates meaning to me because from background knowledge I could predict. It creates meaning by making you feel something. Like I’m excited and scared to see what charlotte will do with the dirk. Also, Zarraicha and her-if they will become friends or not.
ReplyDeleteThe setting creates th mood for the character because of the sensory laguage that is used.Charlottehad a room that was described dark,dirty,and scary.The mood for me would be discusted.The room that she was in really described what it looked like.The setting of the story is important because without the setting the book would not make sense.The setting creates the meaning for me because I can imagine in m y head what the setting looks like.My inference is tha with everything that's going on,like the guardians not showing up and stuff,I think something bad is going to happen.
ReplyDeleteWithout the setting the story would have no where to take place. The setting creates a certain mood for the story by having a character describe what the setting looks like. If the character says that the setting was dark, damp and cold you might think that the setting is scary. So when Charlotte said that her cabin was, “about six feet in length, four feet wide and four and a half feet tall” you may think that it is small and dark.The setting creates meaning for the readers because the readers will get confused if the story doesn't explain the setting at all....
ReplyDeleteThe setting is almost always a big part of a story.In the "True Connfesions of Charlotte Doyle" Charlotte tells the mood of her complicated journey. The setting is impotant because without it you wouldn't understand the story.With the setting a reader can relate to the characters.I can tell that Charlotte had a lot of first impressions about the ship.I can connect to Charlotte because I have had a lot of first impressions!
ReplyDeleteI think that the setting of true confessions of chalotte doyle suits the characters very well. The setting creates a very scary and mean mood. The setting is supposed to suit the characters and the mood very well. If there was a scary story and the setting was in dreamville where every one is happy that wouldn’t work out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe mood is the feel for the story. Charlett gave a very good mood. She told of how small and dirty her little room was. How all she had was a dusty, tiny, cockroach filled bed. And a table bolted down to the ground. With out even a chair to sit in. just the setting of her room tells that she will be miserable for a long, long time. But she might just stay in her room compared to being out on deck with the all men crew. And not to mention the very evil caption Jaggery. He may treat her very kindly now (and only because of her higher class) but after awhile he will find her very annoying to my prediction. Soon he will treat her with the low and very little respect as he dose with the crew. But that for another BCR. For now well just stick with how she wont like to be on that small ship, in her worthless, little room, all alone. That is how I feel the mood is for this story so far.
ReplyDeleteOne way that the setting creates the mood is that there are roaches in here cabin so, she said, “What’s that” then Mr. Ketch said, “Roach, miss. Every ship has’ ‘em.” So she gets scared. Another way is that her cabin also has rats. The setting is very important because it says that she was in a narrow passage way with a low ceiling. If that was not in the book there would not be a cabin for Charlotte. The setting creates meaning for me by why she would not want to be here on the ship. I now that Charlotte does not want to be there and that the author is making her go on the ship without a chaperone witch is bad because the young don’t go any where without one. So she may feel lonely and scared being surrounded by men and I now how that feels because I have only brothers and not one sister.
ReplyDeleteThe setting of THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE is on a beautiful ship called the SEahawk it was called the seahawk beacause of the feirce seahawk on the front of the ship. The setting helps the reader imagine them self in the book on the ship with Charlotte doyle being the only girl on the ship.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Travis,
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you for getting your blog up and running! It looks great and your students will really benefit from learning this 21st century skill! Stop by my office for a sweet treat!
The setting of the story creates mood for the story by having a character in the story discribe the setting. Like in "True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle" Charlotte discribes the setting as small, roach invested, rotting stench, and dark. that discription gives the setting a mysterious, dreary and scary.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is important to the story beacause it creates meaning for it. A story would be compleatly uncomprehendable with no setting. (a british navy sea story would make no sense in an egyptian desert setting).
I think that eventually Charlotte might get used to the pretty unfamiliar setting of a ship but when reading the way she discribed her bedroom .....well that might take a while. :)
The setting of the True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle creates the mood y giving the characters feelings. When charlotte described the boat it made me feel depresed,sad and scared, like when she cried her self to sleep it made me sad for charlotte and scared when she saw the mice and roaches.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is important because it gives the characters feelings and moods like dipaire.It wouldn't make sense if it didnt have a setting.
If i was on that boat i would probably end up going crazy because i hate bugs and the dark. I think charlotte is going to end up making the crew her friends like zacheria (i dont know how to spell is name).
the setting of the story is decribed in great detail by charlotte. the setting sets the mood. the setting is important because it tells what place the story transcribed in and what time period[era] it is in and gives you an idea of what might occur there. the setting also castes a feeling or image of the place it is in.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is important because it can create a mental image of the plot. Also it can help you understand it better by having a idea of the place that Charlotte is in by the way she describes it. It creates a way to pull you in and you will understand it. Her excellent job of describing can make you feel sad when Charlotte does and happy when the setting is better.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is important because it helps you relate to the characters situation. Also it can help you relate to the story and get more in depth with it. Lastly I think that the setting is important because it makes you want to read more depending on the setting. If it is in an interesting time or place it might want to make the reader read more and get more in depth.
It creates a mood by letting you relate to the character. It makes you feel like you are on the ship in Charlottes place. If Charlotte is unhappy then it can make you fell unhappy. Also it helps create a mood by giving good details. The details can make you want to read more and can make you feel like you are in the book and when she says things like “there are roaches on this pillow!” it can remind you of a time when something happened like that to you.
the setting creats the mood of the story. it does this by describing the physical images smells and tastes of the scenery. An example of this is when charlotte is describing the ship. she said that it is crawling with pests rodents and roaches. this gives the reader a unpleasent mental image and also can give really engrossed readers to feel hear and smell the effects described in the story.
ReplyDeleteI think that the setting is very important in a story because without the setting the story would not have a place to take place. The setting cerates meaning for me as the reader because it helps me create a picture in my head of what type of place that their in and it could tell what type of activities that their doing. I don’t think that the story could’ve taken place anywhere else because the setting is in the past on an old boat I think that if it was in the future the boats would’ve been more high-tech and faster or they could’ve taken a boat. That’s why I think that the setting is important in a story.
