In this blog post I will be talking about the setting of the farm and the little "cell" that Matt is held in.
The farm's fields are first described as blindingly white because of the poppies and their flowers. In my mind i imagine it like when it first snow and the snow is untouched and when the sun is out and you look at it at the right angle it can almost blind you because it is so bright. That is how I imagine the fields of the farm when the poppies are in bloom. They are also hilly and vast.
Now I will talk about the "cell" that Matt is held in for the first few chapters. When Matt first gets in it, it is first described as a small square room with only one window and has a bed in it opposite to the door and the bed has no blankets or anything, with a bucket in the corner for Matt to pee in. However when Rosa takes everything away he only has saw dust to sleep in. When that happen it is very interesting because Matt starts to attract bugs for entertainment but that has nothing to do with setting so I will not go any further into it.
Other than what I have talk about there is not much to talk about for the fields and the "cell."
This is a well descripted post and I like how you put in on how you felt the farm fields would have looked like. I believe that you could have asked yourself more questions about the setting and create more details that go beyond the setting. Think like Farmer and ask yourself why it's set where it is.
ReplyDeleteI like your visualization of the opium fields! the way I thought of them was like the canola fields. The huge fields of white flowers that are neatly grown in rows and large patches that are meant for only one purpose. My visualization of his cells was similar. It was of a bed in the middle, for some reason is was like a hospital bed, and the newspaper and bucket was in the dark corner. Excellent descriptions!
